About this product

Product Information

Dramatization Thirteen CDs, 13 hours In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell, by chance, into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings to him, but ever he searched far and wide for the One Ring that would complete his dominion. On his eleventy-first birthday Bilbo disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and a perilous quest -- to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom. The Lord of the Ringstells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizard, the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, Boromir of Gondor, and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

  • Tolkiens Middle Earth brought to life!

    The fabulous BBC radio dramatisation (not the earlier US PBA version) in all it’s glory, including the notorious mistake on the chapter listing (The Voice of Sauron, which should be entitled The Voice of SARUMAN). This dramatisation was made at around the time that full dramatisations on radio emerged from the Foley studio into fully realised soundscapes, immersion the listener into the action. Some elements of the epic Tolkien work were translated better than others. The grand battles are not well conveyed, for example, but the full cast rendition of the dialog is utterly compelling and the casting inspired. Fun trivia fact: Ian Holm portrays Frodo in this dramatisation, and went on to portray Bilbo in the Peter Jackson film trilogy. Some of the same shortcuts were taken in this ...

  • BBC Lord of the Rings

    I remember when this was broadcast on the BBC many years ago and what an impact it had to me. I think it must have been some time in the 80s and I can still remember the excitement of waiting each week for the next episode and the thrill of sitting by the radio listening to the story unfold. I'm hoping my children will get as much out of listening to this as I did. A fantastic cast and a great dramatisation of a wonderful book.

  • BBC Lord of the Rings

    This is the BBC's dramatized version. I have had this on tape for many many years and have listened to it more times than I care to count. I think this is one of the best story's ever written! Its even better with a whole cast of actors and actresses. If only the movies could have been done so well. The tapes are now being replaced with this CD box set. I can't wait to listen.

  • Excellent listening!

    Our kids listened to this growing up and loved it! I needed an extra copy so both kids could have their own and I loved that it was the same cover and everything!
