Description
The Return of the King is the third part of The Lord of the Rings, featuring Tolkien's original unused dust-jacket design. This 50th Anniversary Edition includes special packaging and the definitive edition of the text, with fold-out maps. As the quest continues, the companions of Frodo embark on separate adventures. Aragorn joins forces with the Riders of Rohan against the forces of Isengard, while Merry and Pippin escape into Fangorn Forest and encounter the Ents. Meanwhile, Sam and Frodo progress towards Mordor to destroy the Ring, accompanied by Smeagol. The fate of Frodo hangs in the balance, as he is taken captive by the orcs, and the armies of the Dark Lord mass for a final confrontation. This edition has been fully restored with almost 400 corrections, made with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien, to bring it as close as possible to the version that J.R.R. Tolkien intended. The book also includes the original red and black maps as fold-out sheets, and a fully revised and enlarged index.
