Part one of The Lord of the Rings, now featuring film art on the cover.

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, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in THE HOBBIT. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

This is truly a work of magic. Not only does Tolkien's vivid writing create a world so complex and real, he creates a cast of unlikely heroes that will touch the hearts of readers of all ages and places. This book is a must read for anyone looking for adventure and an original tale of fighting for what is good and right.

This story of hobbits,men,dwarves,elves and wizards is full of descriptive imagery, poems, and songs that tell about history and past adventures, as it sets the stage for one of the greatest adventures in literary history, involving an unlikely fellowship of friends traveling together to give their all to affect the destiny of their whole world, Middle Earth.
