Tolkien gifts for the reader who has everything
The reader who has all the books, the maps and the mugs is hard to buy for. What they do not have is a print of the scene they love, in a style they did not expect. Here are the options from the shop.
The dark moments
The Witch-king at the Gate is the moment the great ram breaks the gate of Minas Tirith, from The Return of the King, in the style of a Victorian wood engraving.
Grief after Moria is the Fellowship out of the dark and without Gandalf, in the style of an 1890s etching.
The great masters retold
Three prints give the Tolkien scene to a painter: Van Gogh's Starry Night over Mordor, David's Théoden at the Pelennor, and Bruegel's Minas Tirith as the Tower of Babel. They are for the reader who also loves art.
For the one who loves the maps
Minas Tirith, Literary Plans No. 1 is the city exactly as the book builds it, drawn like an architect's plan.
The £7.99 version
Several of these are available as downloads, with a wallpaper and printable files, which makes a good stocking filler or a gift for someone far away.

Questions
- What is a good gift for a Lord of the Rings fan?
- A print of a scene from the books, in a style they do not already own: a woodcut, an etching, or a great master retold.
- Are these prints from the films?
- No. They are inspired-by prints based on Tolkien's books, and nothing in them is taken from any film.
