Along the way, Bilbo faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and a fateful riddle contest with a creature named Gollum, discovering courage he never knew he possessed. First published in 1937, this witty adventure remains a beloved gateway into Middle-earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lord of the Rings expands that world into a sweeping epic. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered the Rings of Power to himself, lacking only the One Ring, which has fallen into the hands of Bilbo Baggins and, in turn, his young cousin Frodo. Entrusted with destroying the Ring, Frodo sets out from the Shire with a fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and men, traveling across Middle-earth to the fires of Mount Doom. First published in 1954, this novel has been treasured by generations for its richly imagined world and its portrait of friendship against overwhelming darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand-new paperback set featuring two of the most influential fantasy novels ever written\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in one convenient collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect entry point for readers new to Tolkien's Middle-earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cherished keepsake for longtime fans revisiting a beloved classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for birthdays, holidays, or any fantasy lover on your list\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of a legendary series with over 150 million copies sold worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Hobbit — Bilbo Baggins joins Gandalf and thirteen dwarves on an unexpected journey to reclaim treasure from the dragon Smaug.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Lord of the Rings — Frodo Baggins and a fellowship of companions undertake a perilous quest to destroy the One Ring and defeat the Dark Lord Sauron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJ.
