Dan and Alex begin a new adventure in The Lord of the Rings!

Summary of Book 1:

Gandalf the Wizard has discovered that the magic ring the hobbit Frodo Baggins has inherited from his older cousin Bilbo is no ordinary trinket; it's The One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron. Frodo accepts the task of delivering the ring to Rivendell where wiser and more powerful allies might work out its destruction before it can be reclaimed and Sauron rise again to his former power. Pursued by the Dark Lord’s sinister agents, Frodo and his small band of loyal friends make the dangerous journey, but not without incident or a fair amount of strange help.

But Dan and Alex mostly talk about Tom and Goldberry...as they should.

Next episode will cover The Fellowship, book 2.

Dan and Alex have been on a walking tour through Middle-earth. They followed The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, from the doorstep of his hobbit hole, over hill and under tree, to the dungeons of The Lonely Mountain and back again, but a new adventure is calling–and their road continues ever on and on… into The Lord of the Rings!

Our next episode will cover The Lord of the Rings, Book 1, the Fellowship of the Rings (Chapters 1-12).

Like Elwin Ransom, we're going on a walking tour, or like Bilbo Baggins, we're going on an adventure! Maybe not literally, but imaginatively as we briefly leave the works of C.S. Lewis and wander into Middle-earth. Our first stop will be The Hobbit. Read ahead if you don't want spoilers.
