Book Synopsis
Begin your journey into Middle-earth.
The inspiration for the upcoming original series on Prime Video.
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
This boxed set of trade paperbacks includes the three titles that comprise The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King.
Review Quotes
Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. The book presents us with the richest profusion of new lands and new creatures, from the beauty of Lothlorien to the horror of Mordor, adventures to hold us spell-bound, and words of beauty and evocation to bring all vividly before us. --Sunday Telegraph
The author has intimate access to an epic tradition of Germanic history, civilized by the gentler genius of modern England. --New York Times
