Child of the 7th Age is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Thank you, Davem. So very sorry to hear this. I have been collecting the books Ms. Baynes illustrated for many years. Actually I started when I was in my teens. I not only love her Tolkien illustrations, but also her renditions of the Arabian Nights.

Several years ago she was involved with a fundraiser for an animal charity near her home and I was fortunate to acquire one of her signed copies of Bilbo's Last Song. It is one of my favorites.
