The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings

This four-volume, deluxe pocket boxed set contains J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterworks *The Hobbit* and the three volumes of *The Lord of the Rings* (*The Fellowship of the Ring*, *The Two Towers*, and *The Return of the King*). Each book features a leatherette cover with stamped title and all four books are held in a leatherette bound box with gold foil stamping. Shrinkwrapped.

In *The Hobbit*, Bilbo Baggins is whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in Hobbiton by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves. He finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.

*The Lord of the Rings* tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the dwarf; Legolas the elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider. J.R.R. Tolkien's three volume masterpiece is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale-a story of high and heroic adventure set in the unforgettable landscape of Middle-earth.
