Oversized illustrated hardback edition of the second part of JRR Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, fully reset and featuring full-page watercolour paintings by award-winning artist, Alan Lee. Celebrated Tolkien artist Alan Lee's lavishly illustrated volume tells the story of Frodo and the Companions of the Ring who have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in the battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros, Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape the rest of the company were attacked by Orcs. Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin -- alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

This is the 3rd book to ever be written in the land of Middle Earth. After taking refuge in the Mines of Moria, the awakened something that should never be awake: The Balrog. A beast of darkness and fire, Gandalf sacrifices himself to slay the beast, however, they cannot stay and mourn the loss of their dearest friend, for they must continue to Mount Doom at once. However, the Ring has sensed their quest, and is seeking to turn them against each other. At the Falls of Rauros, Boromir, who has been seeking the Ring for himself since the beginning, becomes a mere pawn for the Ring, and tries to seize it for himself to take it to Sauron himself. While The Fellowship is attacked by Orcs, Frodo and Sam realize they cannot stay, so they leave for Isengaurd, but something seems to be lurking in the shadows...

This is a great book. Tolkien is great for advanced Junior High and even Middle school students. This being the second Lord Of The Rings, it's just as good as the first book, which is what all readers want to hear!
