The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, Book 1)
Description
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 domination is the One Ring, the ring that rules them all, which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. The elderly Bilbo entrusts the ring to the care of his young cousin Frodo, who must now 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.
