Frodo Baggins inherits a ring from his friend and uncle, who
then disappears--thus begins Frodo's epic quest through
Middle-earth. From his humble and comfortable life in the Shire,
Frodo is thrust into a world so much bigger than he imagined,
filled with evil and death as well as lyrical beauty and heroic
sacrifice. How can one small hobbit make a difference against
overwhelming odds and evil, and why continue when failure appears
certain? J. R. R. Tolkien, close friend of C. S. Lewis, created in
this book the opening of a sweeping epic myth for our times. Grade
