Frodo the hobbit comes into possession of the One Ring, all-powerful and utterly evil. If it falls into the hands of its maker, the Dark Lord, all is lost. Neither can it be used against him, for it corrupts even the wise. The only hope is a hopeless quest: to carry the Ring into the heart of the enemy's land and destroy it. This trilogy (published separately as The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King) is marked by high adventure and mythic depths. Imaginative characters and creatures come alive. I have read it many times, from age 11 to the present, and it has never failed to entrance me.
