Description: This is a RARE Calendar from 1978 published by George Allen & Unwin in 1978 A wonderful example, with very little wear. Original card envelope has a short tear on the front at the flap corner. A few corners of the calendar are slightly turned, with resultant small crease.Some light spotting to the rear covers. With the twelve months, each featuring a fantastic, large, full-colour illustration from the book.March 26th is printed differently to the other days. We wonder if this is to note the day after The Ring was destroyed and Frodo’s quest was complete. The 25th March is now commonly known as Tolkien, or Lord Of The Rings Day, and is celebrated across the world, with many events and reading sessions. The Blurb The forerunner to The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion tells the earlier history of Middle-earth, recounting the events of the First and Second Ages, and introducing some of the key characters, such as Galadriel, Elrond, Elendil and the Dark Lord, Sauron.The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien’s world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor.
