'The Fellowship of the Ring' is the first part of JRR Tolkien's epic masterpiece 'The Lord of the Rings'.

This paperback edition has the classic black cover featuring Tolkien's own design and includes the definitive edition of the text.

In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task,.

He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord's evil purpose.

JRR Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction.

By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail.

Part of a set of three paperbacks, this popular edition is once again available in its classic black livery designed by Tolkien himself.
