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 his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring 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.

Review: Great packaging and the maps are the best - This edition has the best maps I have seen Review: Great book - What I don't like is there is no proper packing for the books. The box covering the books was tear-off and I needed to glue it back. Really feel heart pain as I hope to keep this as own collection. ## Features - Binding : Paperback - Pages : 1216 - Publisher : Harpercollins Publishers Ltd ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,325 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #36 in Epic Fantasy #42 in Mythology & Folk Tales #50 in Fantasy for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 7,722 Reviews | ## Images ![The Lord of the Rings : Boxed Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-J-4RXArL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great packaging and the maps are the best *by F***R on 18 November 2019* This edition has the best maps I have seen ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by L***U on 29 September 2021* What I don't like is there is no proper packing for the books.

Several parts of the set showed visible damage, which was disappointing given that this is meant to be a collector’s edition and a gift. Because of this, I couldn’t keep it. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Lord of the Rings : Boxed Set - HarperCollins Publishers Ltd The Hobbit - The Silmarillion --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/251117637-the-lord-of-the-rings-boxed-set](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/251117637-the-lord-of-the-rings-boxed-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
