The Fellowship of the Ring
Book 1 of the The Lord of the Rings series
398 pages · First published 1954
Frodo Baggins inherits a seemingly ordinary ring from his cousin Bilbo and learns from Gandalf that it is the One Ring, created by the Dark Lord Sauron to dominate the other Rings of Power. Leaving the Shire with loyal companions, Frodo travels toward Rivendell while servants of Sauron hunt him. A fellowship of hobbits, Men, an Elf, a Dwarf, and Gandalf is formed to carry the Ring toward its destruction in Mordor. J. R. R. Tolkien opens The Lord of the Rings with epic fantasy grounded in friendship, sacrifice, languages, deep history, and the growing realization that a small person may carry a burden on which an entire age depends.
