First‚ in terms of story‚ The Lord of the Rings provides an epic story of good versus evil. The very fate of Middle Earth is at stake: will it remain a land of free people‚ or will it be subjected to slavery under a dark lord? From the very beginning of the series‚ The Lord of the Rings establishes a very clear struggle that will affect an entire continent (and possibly lands beyond).

Mr.Frodo Baggins. Mr.Frodo Baggins is the main character of the novel The Lord of The Rings written by J.R.R Tolkien and is a fantasy world at war book.

The pain at the back of his head made him grimace. Well‚ I must look just as bad‚ he thought and then turned to the elves standing silently at the rear. He felt mildly aggrieved when he saw the Legolas and Ringëril unscratched
