Series: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

An epic depicting the Great War of the Ring, a struggle between good and evil in Middle-earth.—Baker & Taylor



"This book creates a diversity of its own. It celebrates life and the 'human' spirit to do good and push oneself to achieve what seems insurmountable, not for fame or personal gain, but in quiet ways for the good of all."—Submitted by Kari E., Board Member
