One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find
them, One Ring to bring them all and in the
darkness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of
Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the
Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own
power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring
was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout
Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it
fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo
Baggins.
From Sauron's fastness in the Dark Tower
of Mordor, his power spread far and wide. Sauron gathered
all the Great Rings to him, but always he searched for the
One Ring that would complete his dominion.
When
Bilbo reached his eleventy-first birthday he disappeared,
bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and
a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep
into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by
casting it into the Cracks of Doom.
The Lord of the
Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo 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.
This new edition includes the fiftieth-
anniversary fully corrected text setting and, for the
first time, an extensive new index
