"The Farmer Giles of Ham:
Fabulous tale of the days when giants and dragons walked the kingdom. Full of scholar's wit.
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil:
By turns gay, prattling, melancholy, nonsensical, mysterious. And what is most exciting and attractive about them is their superb technical skill. Professor Tolkien revealed in the verses scattered through The Hobbit that he had a talent for songs, riddling rhymes, and a kind of balladry. In The Adventures of Tom Bombadil the talent can be seen to be something close to genius."

"This one-volume, paperback edition of The Lord of the Rings contains the complete text of the revised edition of 1966. The index and all but one of the numerous appendices have been omitted. Though they contain much information that has proved very interesting to many readers, only a small part is necessary to the reading of the tale. They may still be found in the standard hardback edition where they occupy the last 130 pages of The Return of the King."

Published in 1979, reprinting of third edition.
First published by George Allen & Unwin in 1955.
Contains the third book of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien in 556 pages. Cover different from picture.
"The Return of the King is the final part of J.R.R. Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction The Lord of the Rings. It is impossible to convey to the new reader all of the book's qualities, and the range of its creation. By turns comic, homely, epic, monstrous and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes ofd scenes and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. In the words of the novelist Richard Hughes 'For width of imagination it almost beggars parallel, and it is nearly as remarkable for its vividness and narrative skill which carries the reader on enthralled for page after page'. Tolkien created in The Lord of the Rings a new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal.
This is the third part of a three book edition in paperback which reproduces the complete authoritative text. The Return of the King also includes the Appendices and Index in full."
