Publisher's summary

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.

Featured Article: Peregrin "Pippin" Took—A Lord of the Rings Character Guide


Pippin is just a "tween" (between the ages of 20 and 33 for Hobbits) when he gets swept up in the greatest battle between good and evil that Middle-earth has seen in thousands of years. Faced with terror, danger, and impossible choices, Pippin matures over the course of The Lord of the Rings series. The young Hobbit who leaves the Shire because he loves his friends and wants to help them is not the Hobbit who returns, wiser and somber but still hopeful.
