Barbara Remington
From Tolkien Gateway
Barbara Remington is an American artist. She painted the cover art for Ballantine Books's first paperback editions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, for which J.R.R. Tolkien expressed dislike.
On 1 November 1967, she sent a letter to Tolkien, explaining that the publisher was trying to get the books out as fast as possible because of competition, which did not give her time to read the books.[1]
