This three-volume boxed set of Tolkien's epic masterpiece The Lord of the Rings - including The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King - is lavishly illustrated in full color by renowned Tolkien artist Alan Lee.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In ancient times, the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths. Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him and, though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, still it remained lost to him.
After many ages, it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings to him, and searched far and wide for the One Ring that would complete his dominion.
On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling Ring, and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.
