Author J. R. R. Tolkien first published this famous book series in three parts, beginning with The Hobbit, published in 1937 and then The Fellowship of the Ring (published in 1954), followed a year later in 1955 by The Two Towers and finally, The Return of the King.
There’s a fifth book, published after Tolkien’s death called the Silmarillion (in 1977) – the latter is the lesser known of the series and why it's generally seen as a 4-book series.
Immerse yourself in Tolkien’s wondrous fantasies and meet fictional characters Frodo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins and a host of other Hobbits, elves, dwarves and men. It’s no wonder that this series of books was translated into 38 different languages and six movies (three Lord of the Rings movies and three Hobbit movies). The book is even studied in schools and colleges too.
