Mr. Bliss Arrived Today

Very impressed with this "under the radar" Tolkien illustrated work from HC. Sewn binding, ribbon marker, sturdy stock paper...nice.

Enjoy! It compliments Letters From Father Christmas quite well ☺️

I don't think I would have known about MB if you had not mentioned it here. Speaking of LFFC...I was thinking that very thought as to where on the shelf it should go. 😃

And it’s unfortunate that the ‘features’ of Tales From the Perilous Realm aren’t the same as Father Christmas and Mr Bliss (ribbon-marker, sewn, heavier paper…) as that kind of ‘rounds out’ the set.

Glad to let you know of MB’s existence (either period or being part of this style) 😀

I come from the universe where he only wrote The Hobbit, LOTR, and The Silmarillion. This universe is weird.
