The Fellowship of the Ring by J R R Tolkien
Inspired by The Hobbit, and begun in 1937, The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy that Tolkien created to provide the necessary background of history for Elvish tongues. From these academic aspirations was born one of the most popular and imaginative works in English literature. The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between powers of good and evil. In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien's great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe-hobbits, elves, and wizards-step colorfully forth from the pages. Rob Inglis' narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.‘The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and those who are going to read them’ Sunday Times
‘A story magnificently told, with every kind of colour and movement and greatness.’ New Statesman
‘Masterpiece? Oh yes, I’ve no doubt about that.’ Evening Standard
‘Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century.’ Sunday Telegraph
‘Here are beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron.’ C.S. Lewis
