The Fellowship of the Ring
The Fellowship of the Ring is the first part of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. It is divided into two parts called Book One and Book Two.
Book One
This book begins the story and introduces Frodo and the Ring. It also shows the beginning formation of the Fellowship of the Ring (hence the title.) It shows Frodo's journeys with Sam, Pippin and Merry, all hobbits, from the shire to Rivendell while pursued by the mysterious otherworldly Black Riders.
Book Two
This book shows how Frodo must go to Mount Doom and destroy the evil ring of Sauron. He and the rest of the fellowship [1] travel through the Mines of Moria [2], the glades of Lothlorien, and the rivers of Anduin. The book ends with the sudden breaking of the fellowship due to Boromir's attempt to take the ring. Frodo and Sam go alone to Mordor down the river. [3]
