Sauron has returned... watch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 on Prime Video.

Delve deep into the enchanting world of Middle-earth with the masterful narratives crafted by J. R. R. Tolkien in this exquisite box set. This collection, cleverly designed in a pocket-sized format with a luxurious leatherette binding, includes the beloved classics that inspired some of the most monumental films in cinematic history. It is the quintessential gift for any aficionado of the Lord of the Rings series.

This beautifully presented four-volume box set contains the timeless epic tales of The Hobbit and the three books that comprise The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Encased in a stunning box with gold foil stamping, each book is exquisitely bound in leatherette with an embossed title. Measuring a convenient 4 1/4" x 5 7/8", these books are perfectly portable, allowing you to journey through Middle-earth wherever you may go.

In The Hobbit, readers are introduced to the endearing Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who finds himself embarking on the adventure of a lifetime. Coaxed out of his quiet and predictable life by the enigmatic wizard Gandalf and a determined band of dwarves, Bilbo sets off on a journey to reclaim the dwarves' stolen treasure from Smaug the Magnificent, a legendary dragon known for his might and malevolence.

The Lord of the Rings series expands the scope of Tolkien’s world, chronicling the perilous quest led by Frodo Baggins and an unlikely Brotherhood tasked with a mission critical to the survival of Middle-earth. This epic tale of friendship, courage, and sacrifice centres around the titular Fellowship, including Gandalf, fellow hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam, the valiant dwarf Gimli, the skilled elf Legolas, Boromir of Gondor, and Strider, a mysterious wanderer whose identity unfolds as the story progresses.

J. R. R. Tolkien’s works weave together elements of mythology, fantasy, and adventure to create a narrative of extraordinary depth and imagination. The immersive saga set in Middle-earth is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale, resonating with readers for its richly detailed world, unforgettable characters, and themes of bravery, friendship, and hope.
