Description
The Return of the King is the third part of JRR Tolkien's epic masterpiece The Lord of the Rings. Impossible to describe in a few words, JRR Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction. By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a vast new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal.
Author Biography
J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing 'The Hobbit', 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Silmarillion', plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 40 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
Reviews'The story moves on with a tremendous narrative rush to its climax! extraordinary imaginative work, part saga, part allegory, and wholly exciting.' The Times 'A triumphant close! a grand piece of work, grand in both conception and execution. An astonishing imaginative tour de force.' Sunday Telegraph
