The Hobbit

Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar!

The Lord of the Rings: Part 1: The Fellowship of the Ring

The first part of J.R.R.Tolkien's epic adventure "The Lord of the Rings".

In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord's evil dominion.

Thus begins J.R.R.Tolkien's classic tale, which continues in "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King".

The Lord of the Rings: Part 2: The Two Towers

The second part of J.R.R.Tolkien's epic adventure "The Lord of the Rings".

The Company of the Ring is sundered. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin - alone that is, save for a mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

Thus continues the classic tale begun in "The Fellowship of the Ring", which reaches its awesome climax in "The Return of the King".

The Lord of the Rings: Part 3: The Return of the King

The third part of J.R.R.Tolkien's epic adventure "The Lord of the Rings".

The armies of the Dark Lord are massing as his evil shadow spreads ever wider. Men, Dwarves, Elves and Ents unite forces to do battle against the Dark.

Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam struggle further into Mordor in their heroic quest to destroy the One Ring.

The devastating conclusion of J.R.R.Tolkien's classic tale, begun in The Fellowship of the Ring and "The Two Towers", which includes the Appendices and a revised Index in full.
