The reason this version is so good is that it doesn't rush to tell its tale and remains very faithful to the spirit of the book - with minimal changes to Tolkien's original story and a much more intimate feel than you get with its big screen counterpart. Ian Holm (who played Bilbo Baggins in the movies) plays the part of Frodo Baggins in this version and even returned nearly 20 years later to record new introductions and epilogues for this release - though, to listen to it, you wouldn't know that such time had passed.

Sauron's Black Riders are on their trail as they travel to Rivendell, attempt to cross the snow-swept Misty Mountains and, in desperation, enter the terrifying Mines of Moria. Frodo must do everything he can to prevent this, and with the help of Gandalf the wizard and a band of loyal companions he begins a perilous journey across Middle-earth. It is the Ruling Ring, taken long ago from the Dark Lord, Sauron, who now seeks to possess it again. With his uncle Bilbo having mysteriously disappeared, Frodo finds himself in possession of a simple gold ring that has great and evil power. Part One, The Fellowship of the Ring, introduces us to Frodo Baggins. Brian Sibley's famous adaptation has been divided into three corresponding parts, with newly-recorded beginning and end narration by Ian Holm, who now stars as Bilbo in the feature films based on The Lord of the Rings. It boasts a truly outstanding cast including Ian Holm (as Frodo), Sir Michael Hordern (as Gandalf), Robert Stephens (as Aragorn), Bill Nighy (as Sam Gamgee) and John Le Mesurier (as Bilbo). With its first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on March 8, 1981, this dramatised tale of Middle Earth became an instant global classic.
