Rezensionen

'Alan Lee's artwork has a beauty and lyricism about it. His art captured what I hoped to capture with the films.'
Peter Jackson

Praise for the 'Great Tales' trilogy:
'[The Children of Húrin is] the darkest of all Tolkien's tales. Alan Lee's illustrations complement the writing splendidly.'
Times Literary Supllement

'Critical moments are caught [in Beren and Lúthien], as in The Children of Húrin, by Alan Lee's nine outstanding colour plates.'
Times Literary Supplement
