BookMoot sends this in: Here is a nice post about the history of History of Hobbit illustrations at children’s author Tony DiTerlizzi’s site. Since, he has shared an illustration by “Where the Wild Things Are” illustrator, Maurice Sendak who was set to illustrate the Hobbit but suffered health issues that prevented the project going forward. Thought this was interesting.

I thought some of my fellow Tolkien fans would appreciate this.

I don’t know that I would have like Maurice Sendak’s illustrations for “The Hobbit”. His always seemed so clunky to me, as I read to our kids. We didn’t read a lot of his stuff, for that reason. I liked beautiful, as well as interesting, and well written, books for our kids.
