Details: A special hardcover box set of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, including three new collector's editions of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, with sumptuous cover designs, foil stamping, stained edges, ribbon bookmark, and an exclusive fold-out 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 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. The Lord of the Rings is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale-a story of high and heroic adventure set in the unforgettable landscape of Middle-earth. Featuring an elegant design and a fold-out map of Middle-earth, this box set of Tolkien's most beloved work will be an essential piece of any Tolkien reader's library.
