"Something has gone crack," Tolkien wrote about the first death among his tight-knit fellowship of friends in 1916, and the impact of the war haunted his writing for the rest of his life. In Tolkien's body of work, the Great War serves as a source of imagery, motifs, and examples of military operations and strategy; of central themes about conflict, comradeship, duty, and the destruction of the environment; and of personal trauma which he worked out in meaningful symbolic form throughout his life.

I bought this set a couple of weeks or so back. It wasn’t something I was planning but I do like a box!
It isn’t the Waterstones red edged set of titles.
The Hobbit is the 2020 edition, impression 70.
The LotR set says 2020 edition, 35th impressions. Strange how the Fellowship says 2011 edition, however. Must be a misprint?
As you can see from the eBay listing above and my post, the edges in certain places seem bumped. Mine was in cellophane also, but as that was the only one in the shop I bought it.
