Overview

Widely is regarded as a broadcasting classic, the 1981 BBC Radio dramatization of The Lord of the Rings stars Ian Holm, Michael Hordern, Robert Stephens, John Le Mesurier, and Peter Woodthorpe. This box set contains all three parts of the epic tale—The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him the Rings of Power—the means by which he will be able to rule the world. All he lacks in his plan for domination is the Ruling Ring, which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Frodo Baggins. . . Brian Sibley, one of the original dramatists, has written new opening and closing narration for the character of Frodo, played by Ian Holm. This collection also includes a bonus CD featuring Stephen Oliver's complete musical score, and a demo version of "Bilbo's Last Song."

13 CDs. 13 hrs 15 mins.
