Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power, the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his campaign for dominance is the One Ring, the ring that rules them all, which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.

In a peaceful village in the Shire, Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense duty, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his custody. Frodo must depart from his home and make a hazardous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil intent.

First available in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have cherished. Steeped in unrivalled charm and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike. Over 100 million copies of its many editions have been sold around the world. It is now available for the first time on digital download, complete and unabridged.

Rob Inglis has a voice similar to how you imagine the great JRR Tolkien would sound. He keeps the narration neutral so as to leave a great deals still to the imagination of the listener. A very soothing listen, best when sat next to a real fire. This is once of the few opportunities you will get to hear the Lord of the Rings in its entirety.
