Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, all three parts of the epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, in one paperback. Features the definitive edition of the text, fold-out flaps with the original two-colour maps, and a revised and expanded index. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power – the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring – the ring that rules them all – which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike. This single-volume paperback edition is the definitive text, fully restored with almost 400 corrections – with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien – and features a striking new cover.

Honestly, I excepted a lot especially for an autography. I expected that by the time i put the book down, I would get to know who the real Mamkhize is , her world but noooooo, she is still secretive, doesn't reveal much still, and one wonders why she even wrote the book. The book is more about the Brother Sbu and a reader ends up knowing more about Sbu than Mamkhize then she should have just renamed the book and said something about a tribute to my brother. Not worth the read honestly. It leaves you with more questions than answers
Wow, bought the book and once I started reading it, I couldn't put it back down. Excellent writing as expected from Melinda Ferguson and I love how she narrates the story from both sides. No Bias-ness at all and it gives a better insight on what went on between the two. Highly recommended
