I have just noticed that I have a three volume paperback edition of Lord of the Rings sitting on my shelf gathering dust. The books are in good condition and look (from down here) like new.

I'm not entirely sure how I ended up owning them but I don't remember buying them.

Long story cut short - they are giving no enjoyment sat there and need a new home. So collect them from me or send me a little something towards P 'n' P and I'll post them all to you.

If you have been living under a rock for the last few hundred years Lord of the Rings is a defining epic for the fantasy fiction genre and was not-so-very-long-ago made into a three part motion picture complete with attractive main stars and big names and broken toes.

Lord of the Rings tell the story of a young hobbit who finds himself with the difficult task of trying to take a magic ring to the place where it was made to ensure that it is unmade and thus save all of middle earth from evil. The only problem is lots of people want the ring, the ring wants to be had and the evil in question owns the mountain where the ring can be unmade.

Also there is political strife, disagreements, history, regret and many, many miles, armies and kingdoms in the way. It is a rich story and well worth reading even if you have seen the film.
