SynopsisA three-volume boxed set edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic The Lord of the Rings, featuring film art on the cover. The set include The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King "An extraordinary work--pure excitement..." --The New York Times Book Review One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them 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 own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth still 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 ever he searched far and wide for the One Ring that would complete his dominion. On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo 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 wizard, Merry, Pippin and Sam, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, Boromir of Gondor, and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

  • Wonderful tale spinning by Tolkien

    I'm a 76 year old grandfather whose 13 year old granddaughter read this trilogy including 'The Hobbit' years ago! She is extremely enthralled with fantasy books/stories and I thought that I would give The Hobbit a whirl myself in order to understand what she had been talking about. What a romp; I just had to continue the storyline after Bilbo left home.... So far, I'm into the first half of the first book and the trilogy continues to entertain. I can only imagine just where these 3 books will take me! The books are printed in a highly readable text, the covers and slipcase are attractive and my seller slipped a metal bookmark into the pages of book 1 - what's not to like?
