To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, this first part of the epic tale of fantasy is reissued with an exclusive cover image of the award-winning trilogy
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 dominion is the One Ring – the ring that rules them all – which has
fallen into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds
himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the
ring to his care. Frodo must 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.
