The Back of the Book
The first part of J R R Tolkien's three book The Lord of the Rings
The Fellowship of the Ring is the first part of J R R Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction The Lord of the Rings. It is impossible to convey to the new reader all of the book's qualities, and the range of his creation. By turns comic, homely, epic, monstrous and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scenes and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. In the words of the novelist Richard Hughes 'For width of imagination it almost beggars parallel, and it is nearly as remarkable for its vividness and narrative skill which carries the reader on enthralled for page after pag.' Tolkien created in The Lord o fhte Rings a new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal.
'An extraordinary book. It deals with a stupendous theme. It leads us through a succession of strange and astonishing episodes, some of them magnificent, in a region where everything is invented, forest, moor, river, wilderness, town and the races which inhabit them.' The Observer
'Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century.' Sunday Telegraph

How cool! Thanks, babes :) I lost my copies of these books & am replacing them to re-read. I was a bit worried in case I'd won the sweepstake as I wasn't expecting anything *g*
