An unlikely hero. A perilous quest. The greatest adventure ever told. In a quiet village in the Shire, young Frodo is about to receive a gift that will change his life forever. Thought lost centuries ago, it is the One Ring, an object of terrifying power once used by the Dark Lord to enslave Middle-earth. Now darkness is rising, and Frodo must travel deep into the Dark Lord’s realm, to the one place the Ring can be destroyed: Mount Doom. The journey will test Frodo’s courage, his friendships and his heart. Because the Ring corrupts all who bear it - can Frodo destroy it, or will it destroy him? ‘The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and those who are going to read them.’ - Sunday Times This brand-new unabridged recording is narrated by the acclaimed actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.
