Tolkien's definitive three-book epic, the Lord of the Rings (encompassing The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King), and its charming precursor, The Hobbit.

Very nice set of books for the price. Recommended. Read review and view pics for detail on font for pocket-sized "paperback." B Very nice books, binding seems nice.

"Bilbo Baggins, the unlikely hero, battled the wits of a fire breathing dragon and showed us how to live a happy life." according to Chiek.

Even for one like me who has past the half century mark. I simply don't have enough praises for Tolkien's exciting adventure tale that has all the classic ingredients for a good fantasy story. Strange and wonderful beings of goblins, elves, dwarves, stone giants, magic rings, giant spiders, shape shifting beings, castles filled with gold and yes, an angry fire breathing dragon that talk so intelligently,
