Embark on the next chapter of the tale that began in The Hobbit with this gripping first instalment of Tolkien's magnum opus, The Lord of the Rings. Featuring a striking ebony cover inspired by Tolkien's own artistry, this definitive edition includes a meticulously crafted map of Middle-earth.
The Dark Lord Sauron has amassed the Rings of Power, instruments crucial to his scheme for dominion over Middle-earth. Yet one ring eludes him—the master ring that would complete his control—now in the possession of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
In a tranquil Shire village, young Frodo Baggins inherits an enormous responsibility when his ageing cousin Bilbo bequeaths him the ring. Frodo must forsake his homeland and embark on a treacherous quest across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, where he must destroy the ring and thwart the Dark Lord's nefarious designs.
This B format edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's literary masterpiece has been lauded as both a heroic romance and a paragon of fantasy fiction. The narrative deftly weaves between the comic and the homely, the epic and the diabolical, transporting readers through a kaleidoscope of scenes and characters within a meticulously crafted imaginary realm.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
