Description:
A BBC radio full-cast dramatisation of the first book in
JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Brian Sibley's famous 1981 adaptation, starring Ian Holm
and Michael Hordern, has been divided into three
corresponding parts, with newly-recorded beginning and
end narration by Ian Holm.
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of
Power the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth.
All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring the ring
that rules them all which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit,
Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo
Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring
is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a
perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack
of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he
must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil
purpose.
Since it was first published in 1954, 'The Lord of the Rings' has
been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic
and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts
of young and old alike.

About The Author:
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on the 3rd January, 1892 at
Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State, but at the age of four he and
his brother were taken back to England by their mother. After his father's
death the family moved to Sarehole, on the south-eastern edge of
Birmingham. Tolkien spent a happy childhood in the countryside and
his sensibility to the rural landscape can clearly be seen in his writing
and his pictures.
