Tolkien. Now you can get this towering masterpiece of fantasy in a deluxe new boxed-set edition, featuring a text that is free of error and closer to Tolkiens intentions than any version yet published.

To create The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien did much more than simply plot out a story. He created an entire worldan enchanting world of fantastic creatures, wild landscapes, and dramatic events, all imagined with a fullness virtually unequalled in all literature. But the best feature about his writing is the strong Catholic sensibility that informs this long story from beginning to end, making it beloved by Catholics worldwide since its first appearance.

If youve never entered Middle Earth, heres your best chance yet. And if your kids are clamoring to see the new cinematicThe Lord of the Rings, give them this edition. Meanwhile, if youve long loved Tolkien, now you can replace your well-worn copies with an edition thats made to last.

A unique, wholly realized other world, evoked from deep in the well of Time, massively detailed, absorbingly entertaining, profound in meaning.
