Editorial Reviews

Review
'An extraordinary book... the story itself is superb.' The Observer 'Masterpiece? Oh yes, I've no doubt about that.' Evening Standard 'Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the 20th century.' Sunday Telegraph 'A story magnificently told.' New Statesman 'An extraordinarily imaginative work, part saga, part allegory, and wholly exciting.' The Times

For fantasy fans everywhere this is the collected works of Tolkien's two best-loved classics. In The Hobbit Bilbo Baggins is enlisted by the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves on their dangerous trip to the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. In The Lord of the Rings the responsibility falls to Bilbo's nephew Frodo to stop the Dark Lord Sauron getting hold of the last Ring of Power. They have delighted generations, and are here presented in a wonderful gift set. (Kirkus UK) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
A beautiful illustrated boxed set collecting the two most popular Tolkien hardbacks -- the Centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings and the 60th Anniversary edition of The Hobbit, both illustrated by Alan Lee. Since they were first published, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have been two books people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, these works of sweeping fantasy have touched the hearts of young and old alike. Between them, nearly 100 million copies have been sold around the world. And no editions have proved more popular than the two that were illustrated by award-winning artist, Alan Lee -- the Centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings and the 60th Anniversary edition of The Hobbit. Now, for the first time, these two beautifully illustrated hardbacks have been collected together into one deluxe boxed set. Readers will be able to follow the complete story of the Hobbits and their part in the quest for the Ring -- beginning with Bilbo's fateful visit from Gandalf and culminating in the dramatic climax between Frodo and Gollum atop Mount Doom -- while also enjoying over seventy full-page colour paintings and numerous illustrations which accompany this epic tale. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular!!!!!!!!!, February 14, 2003
By A Customer
I would give this a hundred stars if i could. I love what Tolkien has wrote. I've only liked one series as much in my entire life and that's the Ruin Mist books. Tolkien is the world's best author. If you get this boxed set you won't not regret it. It is spectacular. Please read this. I read it 5 times since my mom bought it.
