"This collection…is a masterpiece." --The Courier

Our beautifully slipcased collection includes The Hobbit, Tolkien's magical prelude to Lord of the Rings, and all three volumes of the trilogy: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

The audios are the acclaimed American productions broadcast on National Public Radio—fully dramatized, complete with music and sound effects, and digitally re-mastered.

The slipcase features original cover art by John Howe, a leading Tolkien illustrator and conceptual artist on Peter Jackson's film version of the trilogy.
