The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set
Immerse yourself in Middle-earth with Tolkien’s classic masterpiece, telling the complete story of Bilbo Baggins and the Hobbits’ epic encounters with Gandalf, Gollum, dragons and monsters, in the quest to destroy the One Ring.
Embark on a journey through Middle-earth with J.R.R. Tolkien's timeless masterpieces, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. These enthralling tales recount the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, a modest hobbit whose life is turned upside down when he unwittingly becomes entwined in a perilous quest involving dragons, wizards, and the fate of the world. Alongside iconic characters such as Gandalf the Grey, the enigmatic Gollum, and the valiant Aragorn, Bilbo and later his nephew Frodo Baggins traverse daunting landscapes, face formidable monsters, and confront the dark influence of the One Ring.
First published to both critical and popular acclaim, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have earned their place as cornerstone works in the fantasy genre. These narratives, rich with unrivalled magic, profound lore, and deeply rendered characters, have captivated millions of readers worldwide across generations. Far from being mere stories, they offer an immersive experience into a meticulously crafted world where courage, friendship, and sacrifice guide the protagonists through their monumental journeys.
This newly released boxed set, published to commemorate the 75th anniversary of The Hobbit, provides a unique opportunity for both new readers and devoted fans to delve anew into Tolkien’s visionary universe. Follow Bilbo's initial, reluctant steps from the Shire alongside Gandalf, as he encounters treacherous trolls, intelligent dragons, and the mysterious ring that changes everything. Continue through the epic tale of The Lord of the Rings, where Frodo and his steadfast friends take up the monumental quest of destroying the One Ring, leading to the legendary climax atop Mount Doom and Bilbo’s poignant departure to the Grey Havens.
This beautifully designed set allows readers to experience the full breadth of Tolkien's storytelling prowess, from the simplicity of hobbit life to the grandeur of epic battles. Each book in the set is crafted with care, reflecting the quality and significance of the story within. Whether a seasoned traveller of Middle-earth or a newcomer ready to explore its wonders, this boxed set is a treasure for any bookshelf and a gateway to a world enchanting beyond measure.
