If you're among the millions who have previously been lured into the mythical world of J.R.R. Tolkien, the mere mention of the above conjures up sweet memories of enchantment... But wait until you've heard 'The Lord of the Rings', voiced by the author himself. J.R.R. Tolkien reads and sings his imaginative creations on this historic recording. And for those of you who don't know what we're talking about, can join us. You'll never find a better guide to this world of wonder. The audio is based on a recording that Tolkien made August, 1952. 'The Lord of the Rings' on which he worked for over 14 years, had been refused by publishers and he had almost given up hope of ever seeing it in print. But this recording made him believe in it enough again to prompt him to send it to a former pupil who had become a publisher. The result was that even during his lifetime over 3,000,000 copies were sold. 1 hour on 1 cassette with excerpts from all three books- The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King. Abridged.
