70 years ago on 29 July 1954: The Fellowship of the Ring is published.
The first part of J.R.R. #Tolkien's The Lord of Rings, it tells of Frodo Baggins leaving the Shire on a quest to destroy the One Ring. #LOTR is one of the world's most-loved books - what does it mean to you?
The BBC Dramatisation of LOTR was my 'wardrobe' into Middle-earth. Plus I was born on a Saturday night in the Spring of 1981, and my Dad listened every Sunday, so it may be my first literature experience!
Here is a thread of the lovely artwork by Eric Fraser, for the Radio Times.
It's finally time!! The Frodo & Sam Plushies aswell as all the LOTR fellowship tag keychains are back!!! Take them with you on all your adventures 🌿
