Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of J. R. R. Tolkien's epic master-piece, first reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S.

His chief interest was the linguistic aspects of the early English written tradition, but even as he studied these classics he was creating a set of his own.
