Description: The Lord of the Rings is not a book to be described in a few sentences. It is an heroic romance - "something which has scarcely been attempted on this scale since spenser's 'Farie Queen,' so one can't praise the book by comparisons - there's nothing to compare it with. What can I say then?" Richard Hughes continues, "For width of imagination it almost beggars parallel, and it is nearly as remarkable for its vividness and for the narrative skill which carries the reader on, enthralled, for page after page."

The Fellowship of the Ring delineates the immense power of the One Ring and begins the extraordinary heroic tale of war and adventure which continues in The Two Towers and climxes in The Return of the King.
