The Lord of the Rings 1 - The Fellowship of the Ring
Tolkien, J.R.R.
The Fellowship of the Ring is the first of three books in The Lord of the Rings, a story set in the fictional world of Middle Earth. The Lord of the Rings is Sauron, the Dark Lord, who long ago lost the One Ring that holds much of his power. His overriding desire is to reclaim the ring and use it to enslave Middle Earth. Through strange circumstances, the ring falls into the hands of Frodo Baggins, a hobbit. Hobbits are a race of people half the size of men; they are generally content with living a comfortable life and minding their own affairs. Because of the ring, however, Frodo is caught up in business that will affect all of Middle Earth.
