Few English-speaking people born and raised in the latter half of the 20th century have never heard of The Lord of the Rings. Originally published from 1954 through 1956, J.R.R. Tolkien's richly complex 3-volume series ushered in a new age of epic adventure storytelling. Today, it is considered "the most influential fantasy novel ever written." (The Encyclopedia of Fantasy) During his travels across Middle-earth, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins had found the Ring. But the simple band of gold was far from ordinary; it was, in fact, the One Ring--the greatest of the ancient Rings of Power. Sauron, the Dark Lord, had infused it with his own evil magic, and when it was lost, he was forced to flee into hiding. But now Sauron's exile has ended and his power is spreading anew, fueled by the knowledge that his treasure has been found. He has gathered all the Great Rings to him, and will stop at nothing to reclaim the One that will complete his dominion. The only way to stop him is to cast the Ruling Ring deep into the Fire-Mountain at the heart of the land of Mordor--Sauron's dark realm. Fate has placed the burden in the hands of Frodo Baggins, Bilbo's heir...and he is resolved to bear it to its end. Or his own. Includes The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the Kings.
