In 1937, J.R.R. Tolkien published one of the fantasy genre’s seminal works with The Hobbit, which delighted adults and children alike telling an adventurous tale about hobbit Bilbo Baggins, who leaves the cozy comforts of his home to try to win a share of a treasure guarded by a dragon named Smaug. The popularity of the book made his publisher and audience want a follow-up involving his Middle Earth and hobbit creations.
To say Tolkien outdid himself in response would be a drastic understatement. What followed was the most famous trilogy of the fantasy genre, The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien drew upon his background and spent over a decade fashioning the history of his world and the characters, including some of the old (Gandalf and Bilbo) and a lot of the new (Frodo, Aragorn, Sam). Though Tolkien’s epic fantasy was published more than 50 years ago, it remains a stalwart piece of writing today. More than 150 million copies have been sold in more than 30 languages, and the trilogy is among the top-selling novels of all time.
Like The Hobbit, Tolkien’s expertise with language and history inform the story, but The Lord of the Rings is a staggering, complex work for adults, not children. Tolkien took the themes from The Hobbit and revisited them, but this time he went even deeper. The corruptive nature of power and the many forms of bravery are once again front and center as major themes. Working together and the environmental degradation of industrialization and war are also themes woven through the work.
Although the fantasy element of The Lord of the Rings is undeniable, it is the human story at the center that truly draws readers in. It is a story of people—whether they be dwarves or elves or hobbits—who bravely stand up to evil in an effort to make their world a better place. That central story resonates and will continue to resonate. As Tolkien said “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”
Your Guide to The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is the perfect resource for understanding Tolkien’s classic books. In addition to exploring Tolkien’s life and experiences, this guide explains the background of each volume, including its characters and plot, its major themes, and its influential and enduring legacy. With The Lord of the Rings as popular as ever, get caught up quickly with this resourceful guide.

It was fun to read and satisfying for my mind . It was a good book and I would read it (the great book) again .
If a concise summary of the major plot elements and characters is your goal, this is a good fit. It is well done, but I would refer those looking for a little more insight to Tolkien's own collection of essays titled The Tolkien Reader. The essay “On fairy stories" is especially good.
We went to see The Hobbit, since it was so highly advertised and recommended. We did not understand much of it, so I ordered this guide thinking it would help. Now I realize we needed to have seen or read the previous books or movies. I suppose the book would be a great help to those reading the actual book, however. It just added more confusion to us.
