Previous Tolkien calendars have become much sought after collector’s items, and this year’s will doubtless be an essential purchase for fans everywhere. Published during Christopher Tolkien’s centenary year, it celebrates the peerless stewardship of his father’s work.This year’s calendar showcases 13 full-colour paintings by Alan Lee of scenes from across the First Age of Middle-earth, depicting key moments from the three ‘Great Tales’ – The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien and The Fall of Gondolin – that were published posthumously by Christopher Tolkien.
