About this listen

Inspired by The Hobbit and begun in 1937, The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy that J.R.R. Tolkien created to provide "the necessary background of history for Elvish tongues". From these academic aspirations was born one of the most popular and imaginative works in English literature.

The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between the powers of good and evil.

In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien's great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe – hobbits, elves, and wizards – step colorfully into life. Rob Inglis' narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.

Really enjoyed this story, I couldn’t stop listening. The many voices the narrator, the wonderful Rob Inglis, uses to create depth and the ability to differ who is speaking without clarification was quite a nice touch. All around a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Great story and amazing performance

Absolutely loved it! The narrator does a wonderful job (but not perfect in pronunciation of Tolkien's languages), and his voices for the characters are consistent, and very well done. The book itself is the perfect beginning to Professor Tolkien's three part Magnum Opus, and what is in my opinion the single greatest book ever written. Since the age of eight I have read The Lord of the Rings three times a year, but life has been very busy and I find it difficult to get the time to actually sit and read,. Words cannot truly express how much I love The Lord of the Rings and it gives me brings me an indescribably enormous amount of happinnes to be able to keep my tradition, and listen to such a wonderfully narrated audio version of my favourite story.

Absolutely wonderful!

I've never been able to stick with a Tolkien book to the end. Something about his writing has always been hard for me to follow but this narrator does an incredible job of keeping you focused and engaged. Excited to listen to parts two and three.

Incredible well performed.

This is a great story, great characters and well written. Well, it's J.R.R. Tolkein so duh! *grin* Rob Inglis is wonderful. He gives a great sense of the characters and portrays the different characters well. You always know who's speaking. Great performance for a great story.

Love It!
