Tolkien's 1,000 Year Old Inspiration for The Hobbit
มุมมอง 274หลายเดือนก่อน
What's up guys! I have been having so much fun reading through the Poetic Edda - particularly this lovely LE from the Folio Society! It is clear that J.R.R. Tolkien was heavily influenced and inspired by this collection of Old Norse tales and mythologies - particularly in his writing of The Hobbit. Check out Jackson Crawford's Old Norse channel - really interesting stuff! www.youtube.com/@UCXCx...

What's up guys! Super excited to finally have my hands on Folio Society's Limited Edition printing of The Poetic Edda. Also known as the Elder Edda. This book is huge - and gorgeous. While it is impossible to know exactly how old and by whom these poems were originally composed - nearly all of the works in the Poetic Edda were found in a single manuscript, The Codex Regius, which was written by...

What's up guys! I just finished reading the first Trilogy of books set in Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings series - The Farseer Trilogy. While I felt there were some weaknesses (particularly in the plotting department), overall I really loved this series and love Robin Hobb's writing style even more! I can't wait to continue on into the Liveship Traders trilogy next! I realized after record...

What's up! This production from Folio Society is truly magnificent!

A Christmas Carol - Folio Society and Lyra's Books Review Special Bonus HOLIDAY BOOK GIVEAWAY!
This is one deluxe edition that I'm sad I missed out on. I must have read this title dozens of times during my childhood. Didn't learn about CTP until after the pre-orders were sold out.
@@djsuth7727 it’s such a great story! Have you gotten any CTP editions yet? They are fantastic!
Gorgeous edition, and a lovely cat too :)
@@djsuth7727 it is! And he is! Thanks for the comment!
Almost 1000$, maybe if the pages were made out of gold.
For the pins you could make a decorative bristol board to showcase them
@@dreamersescape2771 I like that idea!
$800 for a book in the public domain. The whole concept just feels obscene.
Your kitty! Also great review - thank you for sharing!
@@preethiwashere yea, he can’t resist begging for some attention!
Design is Hoid's spren.
@@AndrewR.Ludlow thanks!
@TheWanderingZhoop I think the coin might be Veil and Pattern, though? I got the same order you did, but it hasn't shipped yet (I'm told mid-December).
You might have the best special edition collection on TH-cam! I just ordered my first Conversation Tree Press book, the Collector's Edition of Solaris that came out today. Can't wait to get it!
@@WordsinTime Solaris looks amazing! I’m excited to read that and to get my copy from CTP! Thanks for the comment!
Great video and an awesome book! If you don't mind me saying, the backround music is actually distracting and too loud. I would suggest removing it completely.
@@PierreLeSang thanks for the feedback!
Damn you and your beautiful books 😅 Just kidding, I’m living the dream through your videos
Ha! Glad you are enjoying them!
You got ceo written all over you?
as a philosopher and bibliophile these are the sorta editions that make me hate books. 😑
Hyperion is my favourite novel ❤️ this looks absolutely amazing 😍 definitely read the rest of the cantos! Dan Simmons rules!!!
Yup, the price sure is steep alright! Is the binding Smyth Sewn at least? I don't think I saw you mention that.
@@-johnny-deep- it certainly is! And for the price on the secondhand market, you’d kind of expect the ltyread material to be made of gold, but I don’t think that’s the case :-)
@@TheWanderingZhoop Thanks. I still love physical books, high quality bindings in particular, but I afraid that my days of buying physical books are over. I'm old and they just take up shelf space that I ran out of long ago. 😊
What an edition, it looks outrageous haha. I hope you enjoy the rest of the Cantos if you read it. I am in the minority but I actually enjoyed The Fall of Hyperion even more than Hyperion.
@@WordsinTime outrageous is a great word for it! I’ll let you know how I like Fall of Hyperion!
Have one. By far my nicest book!
It's so great! Enjoy!
Lucky you !! I tried my luck with the last few remaining copies, but didn’t succeed in grabbing one. Thanks for your video, it’s always such a pleasure to view and hearing your thoughts.
Thanks for the kind words! They were gone in just a few seconds it seemed!
Amazing. The end-game edition of Hyperion!
For sure!!
Farseer book 2-Royal Assassin from the Folio Society ~Jack Wright
I, too, would love to see your book collection! One can never have too many videos of shelfies!
I would love to see your collection of folio society
@@ghostboy7545 I’ll have to do a video of that!
@@ghostboy7545 would it be more interesting to see my overall collection by genre or by publisher? I sort of have it organized as a mix of those two.
@@TheWanderingZhoop your overall collection please
I see the Catch 22 from Amaranthine on your shelf. Are you going to make a video about it?
@@burner37 good eye! I may do that!
That would be awesome!
just seen this today n Glasgow, i decided no to buy it until id seen someone's review on TH-cam, i it looks a but precious with the loose paper in the book, makes it a careful reading experience .you presented it well i might go back and get the book
Wish i coild find a reasonably priced one of these for sale! Its beautiful
Readers are gonna need a spell against too much magic for this one!

ok but for real... what are we supposed to do with the charms?
guessing... 472
why are numbered editions better?
@@LeonC0704 just from a collectibility standpoint. Otherwise they’re literally identical to the other first edition first printing of the books.
My guese is 000...1😂. Anyway, i never did the math for the grand total of the leather bounds! 20 books! Darn thats gona be heavy to transport. So epic thogh, i reeeely want me and sanderson to live long enoghf to see it hapend. Darn you worries, daaarn youuu!! Anyway. That was hype! Thank you.😊
@@brokenredflag my wife already says she hopes he is taking care of his health! Too many more stories we NEED out of him!!
@@TheWanderingZhoop 🫂🫂
My guess is 1001
There're so much in that box it's crazy! Thanks for sharing
So excited for mine to arrive
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic unboxing! I’m fairly confident that one side of the spinning side of the coin is Design in cryptic form and the reverse side is her humanoid appearance in Yumi & The Nightmare Painter :) I’m totally stoked for Dragonsteel Nexus…maybe I’ll run into you there!
@@illusions97 oh that makes sense! Thanks!! Yea I’m super excited for nexus!!
Yep! Design stole Wit's hat from the chapter headers. XD
on the coin is Veil, one of the personalities and Shallan, and on the other side is Pattern, her spren
um my guess is 3429, hope im right
Amazing! Haha
Sick!
I just bought the blue Folio edition on AbeBooks for only $28. I saw the Lyra's version on AbeBooks for $950. There's no way I can afford that. I say that even while I'm saving up for a Suntup edition of The Time Machine. So technically, I probably should have enough for it by next February, but I'm getting a different book.
Thank you for showing this series, it's an absolute MUST. Didn't know there were special editions out, just bought The Desert Spear and had to find the Warded Man 2nd hand for a bit more $$$.
At some point you should get the new Folio Gormenghast set - it is absolutely stunning.
@@keithhealing1115 I did get the older set - with the black and white ink illustrations. I absolutely love those!
@@TheWanderingZhoop was that with Peake's illustrations?
Hey! Great set! I'm waiting for mine to arrive! Can you please share where did you buy the cover that's transparent for the dust jacket and which one did you get? I'd like to get one too.
@@PierreLeSang if you look up Brodart Book Jacket covers on Amazon they will pop right up! Congrats on getting a set! They are awesome!
@@TheWanderingZhoop thank you!
I can’t add any more parallels (because I didn’t read Poetic Edda), but what an interesting video. I’ll definitely read Edda now. Thanks !!
@@philippe6069 it’s an easy read because it’s a collection of short poems / narrative - so you can read as much or little at a time as you want!
I have this edition too. Your appreciation of it is excellent. It's a volume that will grace any home.
@@tonywatson414 it’s unbelievable! I’ve been wanting to do another video just talking about all the cool stuff I’ve read in there already! It’s fantastic!
Show them all. There are all awesome
Shadow in the Wind one of my favourites off all time. All his books are magical. Sad he is not with us anymore 😢
Beautiful only the price 😂. Love your channel
@@Crazecollector thanks!
Looks great
My favourite. Unfortunately I was too late to get it😂
I'm sorry to hear that! Keep your ear to the ground, surely one will turn up for a reasonable price eventually!
