The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Boxed Set (Mass Market Paperback Edition) This four volume, deluxe paperback boxed set contains J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterworks The Hobbit and the three volumes of Lord of the Rings (Fellowship Of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return Of The King) in their definitive text settings complete with maps and cover illustrations from the motion pictures. In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in Bag-End Hobbiton by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves headed by Thorin Oakenshield. He finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the Lonely Mountain treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, Lord of the Rings tells of the great and dangerous quest undertaken by Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard; the hobbits Merry Brandybuck, Pippin Took, and Sam Gamgee; Gimli the dwarf; Legolas the Mirkwood elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider (Aragorn of Gondor). 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.
