Mass Market Paperback
English language
Published Aug. 13, 1965 by Ace.
For many years, the magnificent novel of Middle-earth, the world of THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, has been the most cherished preserve of a devoted band of readers who number in their ranks most of the major science-fiction writers. For in the work of J.R.R Tolkien, they acknowledge the master fantasy imagination of our century.
Now for the first time this book has been made available to the general science-fiction and fantasy public in a low-priced edition. The story of Middle-earth and its lands and kingdoms, the story of Frodo and his danger-laden mission to return the Ring of Power to the land of the Enemy that made it, is such a tale as cannot be duplicated for wonder and vivid out-of-this-world adventure.

I first read the Lord of the Rings books in my late teens (a long time ago). I couldn’t remember much, only that I didn‘t like them nearly as much as the films (by Peter Jackson).
I was wrong. They are a masterpiece. Tolkien created something truly unique. The world, the characters, the songs, the lore. The story. It‘s simply amazing to read.
The Fellowship is only a part of something bigger. I‘m looking forward to reading the next books.
