Product Description
Sideshow Collectibles proudly presents BBC Radio's 'The Lord of the Rings' Complete Trilogy audiobook set by J.R.R. Tolkien. Undertaking the adaptation of Tolkien's best-known work was an enormous task, but with its first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on March 8, 1981, this magical dramatization became an instant global classic. This 12-CD set features Ian Holm as Frodo, Sir Michael Hordern as Gandalf, and Robert Stephens as Aragorn in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantastic tale of Middle-earth. 'The Lord of the Rings' Complete Trilogy audiobook set, including 'The Fellowship of the Ring,' ' The Two Towers' and 'The Return of the King,' is the definitive Lord of the Rings Collection, complete with bonus music and map of Middle-earth thoughtfully packaged in a handsome box set.

J.R.R. Tolkien was born in 1892, a noted linguist, philologist and Oxford Professor. The Times of London ranked him sixth on a list of 'The 50 greatest British writers since 1945'.
The Hobbit, his first published work of fiction, came from stories Tolkien told to his children, which he eventually began to write down. The Hobbit was followed by The Lord of the Rings, completed in 1949 after twelve long years of work. He helped to make fantasy a serious form of modern literature, and his works continue to be discovered and loved by each generation in turn.

Amazon.com Review
A Christian can almost be forgiven for not reading the Bible, but there's no salvation for a fantasy fan who hasn't read the gospel of the genre, J.R.R. Tolkien's definitive three-book epic, the Lord of the Rings (encompassing The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King), and its charming precursor, The Hobbit. That many (if not most) fantasy works are in some way derivative of Tolkien is understood, but the influence of the Lord of the Rings is so universal that everybody from George Lucas to Led Zeppelin has appropriated it for one purpose or another.

Not just revolutionary because it was groundbreaking, the Lord of the Rings is timeless because it's the product of a truly top-shelf mind. Tolkien was a distinguished linguist and Oxford scholar of dead languages, with strong ideas about the importance of myth and story and a deep appreciation of nature. His epic, 10 years in the making, recounts the Great War of the Ring and the closing of Middle-Earth's Third Age, a time when magic begins to fade from the world and men rise to dominance. Tolkien carefully details this transition with tremendous skill and love, creating in the Lord of the Rings a universal and all-embracing tale, a justly celebrated classic. --Paul Hughes

Review of Kindle edition September 3, 2010
John M. Robinson (Alameda, CA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've been reading and re-reading Tolkien for 45 years and have numerous editions of the trilogy. When I bought the Kindle it was the first book I bought. Sorry, the Kindle version is very poor. Ebooks often are in want of good proofreading but this has a staggering number of typos (proper nouns without capitalization, misspellings etc.) The maps are also missing from this version. For the price they could have done a much better job and honored Professor Tolkien's work.

I love the books, and I having nothing bad to say about anything that Tolkien has ever written.

But if you buy the Kindle version, despite what the product description implies, it does NOT include "The Hobbit". The $14.99 price includes only the Fellowship, Two Towers, and Return of the King.

Not at all impressed July 29, 2010

I cannot recommend this product and here's why:

1. It is advertised as leatherbound, but I think it's covered in some sort of treated paper made to feel (kind of) like leather. If someone can demonstrate that it is leather, I will be happy to edit this review.

2. My copy had the cover artwork way off center.

3. The pages began curling almost immediately.

I returned it with no problem whatsoever, and my money was refunded promptly so 5 stars to Amazon for that.
