Frodo Baggins inherits a ring whose power threatens all of Middle-earth. Leaving the familiar comforts of the Shire, he sets out with companions whose courage and loyalty will be tested by dangers far beyond their home.

The first volume of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings introduces the journey to destroy the One Ring and the peoples drawn into that struggle. Friendship, temptation and responsibility shape the Fellowship’s path. This English-language HarperCollins paperback has the grey cover with Tolkien’s signature above the title.
