Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this three-volume
paperback boxed set of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the
Rings, features exclusive covers from Peter Jackson’s award-winning
film trilogy, the definitive text, and a detailed map of
Middle-earth.
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power
– the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks
in his plans for dominion is the One Ring – the ring that rules
them all – which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo
Baggins.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds
himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his
care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the
realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the
territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring
forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
To celebrate the release of the first of Peter Jackson’s
three-part film adaptation of The Hobbit, THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED
JOURNEY, readers can discover how the journey continues in The Lord
of the Rings with this special boxed set of the complete work, with
exclusive cover images from the award-winning film trilogy.
