    Travel through the setting of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring The settings in this book changed many times from the hills of the Shire‚ where the hobbits live‚ to the deep darkness of the mines of Moria.

In the Lord of the Rings the inhabitants

    FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING PAPER by JOHN HARTUNG The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is a movie that few can possibly hate.
