Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power ? the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring ? the ring that rules them all ? which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. This shrinkwrap-free box set is one of many new initiatives that form part of HarperCollins? ongoing sustainability policy, aimed mainly at reducing carbon production and plastic waste. The tie-in boxes have a closed top flap and are sealed with a paper sticker, saving plastic which might otherwise have been destined for landfiil. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
