I just found out that Tove Jansson did illustrations for The Hobbit back in 1960. Some more info and pictures:

Interesting that she drew Gollum as so large. The page above notes that Tolkien added a note about Gollum's size in later editions of the book because she wasn't the only one that did that.

This was my first introduction to The Hobbit back in the day! I'm looking forward to introducing my moomin-obsessed baby to this crossover in a few years.
