Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings: Deluxe Pocket Boxed Set
Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings: Deluxe Pocket Boxed Set | J R R Tolkien
This four-volume, deluxe pocket boxed set contains J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterworks "The Hobbit "and the three volumes of "The Lord of the Rings "("The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers," and "The Return of the King"). Each book features a leatherette cover with stamped title and all four books are held in a leatherette bound box with gold foil stamping. Shrinkwrapped.In"The Hobbit," Bilbo Baggins is whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in Hobbiton by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves. He finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. "The Lord of the Rings "tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the dwarf; Legolas the elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider. J.R.R. Tolkien's three volume masterpiece is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale a story of high and heroic adventure set in the unforgettable landscape of Middle-earth."

Vansa This isn't factually correct at all though- A song of ice and fire pre-dates Twilight by nearly a decade. And totally different genres, paranormal romance and high fantasy aren't overlapping! 3y

I decided to try this classic. Should I move on to Lord of the Rings?

I'm not sure who the artist is, but this quote I keep on my phone. I'm thinking today of my Grandpa Lowey (paternal grandfather). It's his birthday in Heaven today. He loved all creatures great and small, his garden, and his grandkids (including the four-legged "kyds") and was a very gentle man.

Bilbo is definitely the most unheroic hero Tolkien wrote 😂
He doesn't possess any of the qualities of a hero and certainly not the aspirations.
But he has a great heart and that's why he can do incredible things.
I live him.

Daisey This is a great quote to choose for Tolkien Reading Day! 4y

This fallows billbo baggins and him being set onto an journey to the lonely mountain to retake the thrown. There is the recurring motif of the treasure inside the lonely mountain. I rate it 10/10

MissYaremcio Thanks for the review Dominic! You were just missing the POV and how it is established! 4/6 4y

I stalked and had them in my wishlist for more than 3 years.
________
As the inhumane winter emerges, like a raucous predator in the woods. (God, that sounded heavy!)
I seek shelter, in the comfortable hole in the ground, where lives the warm hearted Hobbits, not the most adventure loving folks, but brave enough to slay a dragon.
So, Happy Ending for me.

P.s : And if you aren't a fantasy lover, then sorry, "You shall not pass".

“Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.”

LiterRohde @GatheringBooks Me too! One of the few apps I was willing to pay for to get rid of the watermark and add more fonts. 6y
GatheringBooks @LiterRohde yup, likewise! super worth it. you may want to explore other images too that are only available to premium users 6y
GatheringBooks @LiterRohde i think it‘s in the Unsplash stock images rather than PixaBay - definitely worth exploring. 6y

But I did get a steal on this book set for $1. 😍 I read The Hobbit in about 5th grade, so I'm due for a reread and then I can explore the rest of Tolkein's world. Gotta love a rummage sale and church bake sale: homemade salsa and gobs.

The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, & The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien are one of my favorite book series. In 1973 the brilliant Professor Tolkien passed away. He will never be forgotten nor will Middle Earth.

MAJOR DILEMMA! The LOTR Boxed set comes with The Hobbit on the left. But it does not have the gold edged pages & embossing on the cover seen on the book on the right. I was going to return the one on the right since I no longer need it, but the gold edges sound so nice when you turn the pages!!!😬

Lacythebookworm Keep all the editions! 😜 7y
monkeygirlsmama It looks like a Bible. Haha I say keep them both if you like them. The more editions the merrier. 😉 7y
Debiw781 The one on the right is too pretty to get rid of! 7y
Jinjer @Debiw781 @Lacythebookworm @monkeygirlsmama Ok you've twisted my arm! I'm keeping it! Thanks! 7y

Just got my 1st issue of the American Tolkien Society's Minas Tirith Evening-Star! It's too bad they'll soon be ending the hardcopy version and going completely digital. I prefer to read Tolkien-related things in print instead of off a screen; even better if I have a cuppa near to hand. ☕

So in addition to the potterverse books, my son bought me the Tolkien boxed set, coincidentally I bought him two bound Tolkien books, and my daughter-in-law who's an artist, made me the gryffinclaw picture! I am spoilt! Plus they bought me two more pandora charms, a santa in a sleigh & the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. Merry Xmas to all my litten friends from all over the world! #xmaslove

I was surprised to learn that, while not technically banned, #LOTR has been challenged ? ~ "Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something...there's some good in this world...and it's worth fighting for." ↖✔ ~ #Day25 #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge #BannedBooks #bookphotochallenge ~ @RealLifeReading @TheSpinecrackersBookClub
