Best Answer

A series of six Fantasy Books (published in three volumes) written by JRR Tolkien. It was made into three movies in the 2000's.

The Lord of the Rings is an epic fantasy novel written by J.R.R. (John Ronald Reuel) Tolkien. It follows the story of Middle-earth, a fictional continent inhabited by Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits and Human beings.

The story of the Lord of the Rings is the account of a young hobbit named Frodo, who through accident comes into possession of a powerful ring containing some of the life-force of the Dark Lord Sauron. This ring has the power to enslave all of Middle-earth, should Sauron ever reclaim it. Aided by the Wizard Gandalf, Frodo embarks on a dangerous journey to bring the ring to Mount Doom, the only place that it can be destroyed.

The story is a rich and lengthy text filled with imagination, and has been a huge influence on modern-day fantasy writers around the globe.

The tale is divided into six books, though it is often published as a trilogy comprised of the 'The Fellowship of the Ring', 'The Two Towers' and 'The Return of the King'.

Lord of the Rings was published in 1954-5 in these installments, due to paper shortages after the second world war. The book had taken Tolkien most of his life to write, and encompasses much of his love of ancient literature and language, especially Anglo-Saxon and Viking legends. Tolkien is reputed to have felt that England lacked Legends of the caliber he would have liked, and so felt this void needed to be filled.

Lord of the Rings was made into a three-part film series by New Line Cinema and director Peter Jackson and released annually from Decembers 2001-2003. The final film, Return of the King, received a record amount of awards including eleven Oscars.

The Lord of the Rings is officially the Allen & Unwin / HarperCollins most-read book, next to the Bible.
a trilogy of books which were turned into a movie. (some people think it is a parodox of the bible) writtin by j.r. Tolkien, it also has sold a lot of copies world wide and is quite popular among adults and children.
