In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. And from that single sentence, one of the greatest fictional worlds ever built began to unfold.
J.R.R. Tolkien spent decades constructing Middle-earth — its languages, its histories, its peoples and their long quarrels, the deep roots of its mythology — and the result is a secondary world of unmatched depth and coherence. The Lord of the Rings is its centrepiece: the story of a Fellowship formed around a single act of destruction, a journey across a world in the last age of its magic, and the fate of everything resting on the shoulders of a gardener from the Shire who very much did not ask for this. Frodo. Sam. Gandalf. Aragorn. Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, Merry and Pippin — a company of nine whose story has moved readers since 1954 and shows no sign of losing its power.
Peter Jackson's trilogy brought Middle-earth to the screen with a fidelity and grandeur that earned eleven Academy Awards for The Return of the King — still the record — and introduced a new generation to a world that rewards everything you bring to it.
Our Lord of the Rings collection brings together officially licensed figures, replica weapons and jewellery, apparel, homeware and collector's pieces from across Middle-earth — from the Shire to Mordor, and everywhere worth stopping along the way.
Not all those who wander are lost.
