“Irresistible. . . The charming voice of Tolkien, bringing Middle English accenting to the craggy characters of Middle Earth. . . shows how much these works were born - and lived - in the creator's imagination.” -Publishers Weekly
J. R. R. Tolkien, in this extraordinary rare recording, will lead you in prose, poems, and song into the fantastic world of The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, places of enchantment you'll want to return to again and again - that is, if you're ever able to leave them in the first place!
This audio is based on a tape recording that Tolkien made in August 1952. The Lord of the Rings, on which he'd worked for more than 14 years, had been refused by publishers and he had almost given up hope of ever seeing it in print. But this recording made him believe in it again - enough to prompt him to send it to a former pupil who had become a publisher. The result was that even during his lifetime more than three million copies were sold.
The next to last piece on side two is an unpublished poem that was apparently originally intended for inclusion in The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, Chapter VII, “The Mirror of Galadriel.”

1998-10-15A great thing for Tolkien-fans, but probably not a thing for the usual reader. The length of the cassette is approx. 60 minutes.
Great book! 1998-10-06
I think that this book shows great literature in the kinds of books young adults love to read.It is a very inspiring book, it made me want to read all of his other books. It made me want to write some like it too.
Fabulous 1998-03-24
One of the greatest children's books and the beginning of the best work of fantasy ever written read aloud by the author himself; what could be better? Introduce these classics to your kids on a long drive in the car. Listen to them yourself while you're soaking in the bathtub. Truly luxurious, in any case. Discover or rediscover, what a fabulous addition to your music cassettes.
I thought both books were great and both deserved the 9. 1998-03-23
