The Fellowship of the Ring is the first part of JRR Tolkien's epic masterpiece The Lord of the Rings. This 50th anniversary edition features special packaging and is the first paperback edition to include the definitive edition of the text. Impossible to describe in a few words, JRR Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction. By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a vast new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal. Now, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its first publication, the text has been fully restored with almost 400 corrections - with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien - making it the definitive version of the text, and as close as possible to the version that J.R.R. Tolkien wanted. In addition to now having the definitive version of the text, this paperback features special packaging to commemorate the golden anniversary of the Nation's Big Read.

Great Illustrated Version
I have read the series multiple times - am a big fan. This edition with Alan Lee illustrations is terrific and the paperback is a solid, usable shape and size. It's perfect for pre-bedtime read-aloud with my 10 year old boys. It's fun to go on the journey through Middle Earth again, but this time with my sons and Alan Lee along!

Better than the movie!
If you loved the film versions (and who doesn't?) then you must read the original. This book has it all: enduring characters, lush settings, action, suspense, romance. If you've been daunted by the size or complexity of this volume, plunge in. This is the original source for elves and dwarves and fantasy creatures we know and love today. Tolkien was a pioneer in the field and his books only improve with each reread. And if you've never read Fellowship of the Ring before, you'll be treated to deleted scenes and bonus characters. Just think of it as the EXTENDED, extended version.
