progressed from concept to finished art. Lee will give a slide-show and
answer questions, a book signing will follow.

Alan Lee was born in England in 1947. Inspired by Tolkien's work to
pursue his chosen path as an artist of the mythic and fantastic, he has
illustrated a wide range of books including Faeries, The Mabinogion,
the centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit. He is a
