About This Item
Synopsis
The Fellowship of the Ring is the first of three volumes of the epic novel The Lord of the Rings by the English author J. R. R. Tolkien. It takes place in the fictional universe Middle-earth. It was originally published on July 29, 1954 in the United Kingdom. The volume consists of a Prologue "Concerning Hobbits, and other matters" followed by Book I and Book II. Tolkien's publisher worried that the 'high-fantasy' novel wouldn't sell, and broke the text into three volumes to cut costs: The Fellowship of the Ring , The Two Towers , and The Return of the King . Because the popularity had not been tested, initial print runs on the trilogy were low, making first states scarce and valuable.

Reviews
The Lord of the Rings is in my opinion the best story in the fantasy genre. The amount of detail that Tolkien pours into his work brings fictional characters, histories, and cultures to life. I have never read another book in this genre with the same level of craftsmanship.
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are simply fantastic, I would recommend them to one and all. I have read them numerous times and much better than the movies which are good.
