  • THE LORD OF THE RINGS – THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS

    One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.

    In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care.
