Tolkien's epic classic The Lord of the Rings are here presented in beautiful cloth editions, including large format fold-out maps of Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age, as well an extensive appendices. This complete box set contains The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, with jackets and a box designed by celebrated Tolkien illustrator Alan Lee.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

This complete three-volume box set is the perfect way to experience the entire legendary saga:

• An Epic Quest: Follow the hobbit Frodo Baggins as he and his companions undertake a perilous journey to destroy the One Ring and save Middle-earth from the Dark Lord Sauron.
• A Timeless Fellowship: Join an unforgettable band of heroes, from Gandalf the Wizard and Legolas the Elf to Gimli the Dwarf and the mysterious Strider, as they unite to protect the Ring-bearer.
• Legendary World-Building: Explore the vast and detailed landscape of Middle-earth, brought to life with large format fold-out maps and extensive appendices included in the books.
