He was born in Middlesex, England, and studied at the Ealing School of Art.〔Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. ("Alan Lee Biography" ).〕 ==Illustrations== Alan has illustrated dozens of fantasy books, including some nonfiction, and many more covers.〔 Several works by J.R.R. Tolkien are among his most notable interiors: the Tolkien centenary edition of ''The Lord of the Rings'' (1995), a 1999 edition of ''The Hobbit'' that has been boxed with it, and ''Narn i Chîn Húrin: The Children of Húrin'' (2007).〔〔 The latter, a first edition, is his work most widely held in WorldCat participating libraries.〔 Other books he has illustrated include ''Faeries'' (with Brian Froud), ''Lavondyss'' by Robert Holdstock (as well as the cover of an early print of this book), ''The Mabinogion'' (two versions), ''Castles'' and ''Tolkien's Ring'' (both nonfiction by David Day), ''The Mirrorstone'' by Michael Palin, ''The Moon's Revenge'' by Joan Aiken, and ''Merlin Dreams'' by Peter Dickinson.〔〔 He has also illustrated retellings of classics for young people.

Another was Adrian Mitchell's version of Ovid's ''Metamorphoses''—namely, ''Shapeshifters'' (Frances Lincoln, 2009).〔("Shapeshifters: tales from Ovid's ''Metamorphoses''" ). WorldCat.
