A cover of the very first edition of The Hobbit published in Portugal (1962). Translated by Maria Isabel Braga and Mário Braga, the book notably used the term "gnomo" for the title instead of Tolkien's preferred "hobito". This edition features delightful artwork by António Quadros. #WyrdWednesday
Tolkien described elements of The Lord of the Rings: “You will meet the perennial Gandalf again…" before mentioning names like Elrond, Sam, Tom Bombadil, Gollum, Moria, Lothlórien, Minas Tirith. He ended it by addressing John: "Or I hope so. And supposing you want to.” 3/6
