Ondskabens Fyrste, Sauron den Store, har taget alle Magtens Ringe i sin besiddelse. Med dem vil han kunne herske over Midgård, og mørket vil sænke sig over alle levende væsner. Men én ring mangler for at gøre herredømmet totalt: Den ene Ring – Herskeren over alle Ringe. Mens Frodo og Sam med deres sidste kræfter kæmper sig frem mod Dommedagsbjerget, samler de frie folk sig til et modslag mod Fyrst Sauron uden for Mordor. Hæren er nu anført af Aragorn, der har givet sig til kende som den retmæssige konge af Gondor - den hvide by. Kan Aragorn og hans hær vinde tid nok til at Frodo og Sam kan gennemføre deres mission? John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) var britisk forfatter og sprogforsker. Tolkien blev født i Sydafrika, gjorde tjeneste under 1. Verdenskrig og fungerede fra 1925 som professor i old- og middel-engelsk ved Oxford University. Tolkien var en kapacitet på sit felt, men hans berømmelse hviler på den fantastiske romankreds om eventyruniverset Midgård. Hobbitten blev lanceret som en børnebog, men trilogien Ringenes Herre rørte alle aldersgrupper. I Danmark blev Ringenes Herre en kultbog i 1970’erne, og værket fik i begyndelsen af 2000 fornyet popularitet i forbindelse med den newzealandske instruktør Peter Jacksons vellykkede filmatisering. Både Ringenes Herre og Hobbitten er udkommet som lydbog hos Gyldendal Lyd. Lydbogen er indlæst af Torben Sekov (f. 1946). Torben er skuespiller og uddannet ved Odense Teater. Torben Sekovs dybe stemme har gjort ham til en populær lydbogsindlæser og tegnefilmsdubber. Han har indtalt mere end 600 lydbøger i årenes løb – heriblandt Ringenes Herre og Hobbitten.

Bilbo's Last Song is considered by many to be Tolkien's epilogue to his classic work The Lord of the Rings. As Bilbo Baggins takes his final voyage to the Undying Lands, he must say goodbye to Middle-earth. Poignant and lyrical, the song is both a longing to set forth on his ultimate journey and a tender farewell to friends left behind. Pauline Baynes's jewel-like illustrations lushly depict both this final voyage and scenes from The Hobbit, as Bilbo remembers his first journey while he prepares for his last.
