About this product

Product Information

The novel of the century, now with new movie tie-in art, color endpaper maps, flaps, and more. In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages, it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings to him, but always he searched for the One Ring that would complete his dominion. On Bilbo's eleventy-first birthday, he disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling Ring and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom. The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizared; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the Dwarf; Legolas the Elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

    The Lod of the Rings The Book of the 20th Century

    This is a must own book. The 2nd most popular book of the twentieth century (after the bible).... That is saying something.

    Always Great

    A Classic that is worth reading over and over and over again, I recall reading the book before the movies were made and so enjoyed the book with its depth of characters, settings and plots... I recently re read it with my daughter and it still holds up against any modern epics .....
