Description
#1 on the Big Read List (UK's top 200). The classic first novel in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The dark, fearsome Ringwraiths are searching for a Hobbit….
Frodo Baggins inherits a ring from his uncle, Bilbo, the Ring of Power that will enable Sauron to rule and destroy all that is good in Middle-Earth. From his humble and comfortable life, Frodo is thrust into a world so much bigger than he has imagined. How can one small hobbit make a difference against overwhelming odds and evil, and why continue when failure appears certain?
Now it is up to Frodo, with the help of the Fellowship, including his faithful servant and friend, Sam, and the old and wise wizard, Gandalf, to carry the One Ring to Mordor and destroy it.
Facing Nazgul, meeting elves, enduring heartbreaking loss, and in danger every moment, the adventure begins.
