1984 Unwin Paperbacks


"The J.R.R. Tolkien Calendar 1984" Unwin Paperbacks (London.) Illustrations by Roger Garland. I used to think the illustrations a bit too fantastic. Certainly they are in complete contrast to the completely realistic works of John Howe and the wonderful landscapes of Ted Nasmith. But over the years, I have come to enjoy this calendar ... especially the cover "Ulmo, Lord of the Waters." For whatever reason (perhaps because it followed the lean year of 1983 in which no calendar was issued?), it appears on eBay only rarely.
