The dark fearsom Ringwraiths were searching for a hobbit. Frodo Baggins knew they were seeking him and the Ring he bore--the Ring of Power that would enable evil Sauron to destroy all that was good in Middle-earth. Now it is up to Frodo and his faithful servant, Same, with a small band of companions, to carry the Ring to the one place it could be destroyed--Mount Doom, in the very center of Sauron's dark kingdom.
Thus begins Part I of J.R.R. Tolkien's timeless and beloved tale The Lord of the Rings. Few writers have undertaken the task of creating a new world with such thoroughness: Middle-earth--the world of The Lord of the Rings--has a geography, language, literature, history, mythology, flora and fauna that is unique and unparalleld.
