The third volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's classic epic fantasy, The Lord of the Rings. This edition of The Return Of The King includes the complete appendices and index for The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
As the shadow of Mordor grows across the land, the Companions of the Ring have become involved in separate adventures. Aragorn, revealed as the hidden heir of the ancient Kings of the West, has joined with the Riders of Rohan against the forces of Isengard and takes part in the desperate battle of the Hornburg. Merry and Pippin, captured by Orcs, escape into Fangorn Forest and there encounter the Ents.
Gandalf has miraculously returned and defeated the evil wizard, Saruman. Sam has left his master for dead after a battle with the giant spider, Shelob; but Frodo is still alive—now in the foul hands of the Orcs.
Meanwhile, the armies of the Dark Lord are massing as the One Ring draws ever nearer to the Cracks of Doom.
“A triumphant close ... a grand piece of work, grand in both conception and execution. An astonishing imaginative tour de force.”—Daily Telegraph

This rating is for the trilogy. I first read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings back in 4th grade elementary school. I am 56 years old now, and the works of Tolkien are still my favorite in the fantasy genre. I have read many good to very good fantasy books over the past 40 years or so, but nothing matches the Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings, and the Silmarillion.Just the best and my favorites. I envy anyone finding and reading these works for the first time.
Such a wonderfuly epic finish.“I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.” - Gandalf

I have read and re-read The Hobbit many, many,many timesover the past 53 years. It will ever be my favorite novels. So much so that before I reached my teens, I made a promise to myself that when I had a female child of my own, she'd bear the name Arwen. It came to pass in the summer of 1995, and like her namesake, she was, is, and remains a being of exquisite beauty. I hope to re-read this work of art at least a few more times before I pass!
