Product Description:
The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, fist reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, "like lightning from a clear sky." Fifty years and nearly one hundred million American readers later comes a beautiful new one-volume collector’s edition befitting the stature of this crown jewel of our list. With a text fully corrected under the supervision of Christopher Tolkien to meet the author’s exacting wishes, two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, gilded page edges, a color insert depicting Tolkien's own paintings of the Book of Mazarbul and exceptionally elegant and sturdy overall packaging housed within an attractive slipcase, this edition is the finest we’ve ever produced.

C. S. Lewis is often quoted in describing the revolutionary effect of *The Lord of the Rings* on 20th-century literature. And with good reason. He was, after all, the first bona fide fan of Tolkien's great work, even years before LoftR was finally published.
Back in the 30s, 40s and 50s, Fantasy in the vein of Tolkien was not exactly in vogue, and C. S. Lewis considered himself somewhat old-fashioned in his literary taste. But, as the 60s and subsequent decades would have it, his taste turned ... Read More
