| This is the story of an ordinary hobbit, Frodo Baggins, with a most extraordinary ring. Everyone wants it, including the evil Sauron, who sends dark riders after Frodo to get it. Frodo flees, but he's alone on the road with his witless hobbit friends. They somehow manage to make their way to Rivendel and regroup, and agree to start on a long trip to destroy the ring. Frodo is given suitable escort but is hounded every step of the way by the enemy. | ||
