This four-volume, deluxe paperback boxed set contains J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterworks The Hobbit and the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King).
In The Hobbit,
Bilbo Baggins is whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in
Hobbiton by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves. He finds
himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the
Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.
The Lord of the Rings tells
of the great quest undertaken by Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of
the Ring: Gandalf the wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli
the dwarf; Legolas the elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious
stranger called Strider. J.R.R. Tolkien's three volume masterpiece 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.
