The first part of The History of The Lord of the Rings, an
enthralling account of the writing of the Book of the Century which
contains many additional scenes and includes the unpublished
Epilogue in its entirety. The Return of the Shadow is the story of
the first part of the history of the creation of The Lord of the
Rings, a fascinating study of Tolkien's great masterpiece, from its
inception to the end of the first volume, The Fellowship of the
Ring. In The Return of the Shadow (the abandoned title of the first
volume of The Lord of the Rings) we see how Bilbo's magic ring
evolved into the supremely dangerous Ruling Ring of the Dark Lord;
and the precise, and astonishingly unforeseen, moment when a Black
Rider first rode in to the Shire. The character of the hobbit
called Trotter (afterwards Strider or Aragorn) is developed, and
Frodo's companions undergo many changes of name and personality.
The book comes complete with reproductions of the first maps and
facsimile pages from the earliest manuscripts. This series of
fascinating books has now been repackaged to complement the
distinctive and classic style of the 'black cover' A-format
paperbacks of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion
and Unfinished Tales.
