The Fellowship of the Ring: Book One in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Inspired by The Hobbit and begun in 1937, The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy that J.R.R. 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 the 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 into life. Rob Inglis' narration has been praised as a  masterpiece of audio.
