Bilbo's Last Song
Author(s): J. R. R. Tolkien
Bilbo’s Last Songis considered by many to be Tolkien’s epilogue to his classic workThe Lord of the Rings. As Bilbo Baggins takes his final voyage to the Undying Lands, he must say goodbye to Middle-earth. Poignant and lyrical, the song is both a longing to set forth on his ultimate journey and a tender farewell to friends left behind. Pauline Baynes’s jewel-like illustrations lushly depict both this final voyage and scenes fromThe Hobbit, as Bilbo remembers his first journey while he prepares for his last. From the Hardcover edition.
