At the end of The Hobbits story Gandalf the wizard who had guided Bilbo through his adventure new little about the ring. By the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring Gandalf has ...

Together with three friends Frodo embarks on a journey to destroy the ring. As like before with Bilbo, Gandalf helps guide the Hobbits through their perils along the way.

These books are a great read and will prove hard to put down.
