"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."

I'm so glad I decided to give this series a go on audio. Rob Inglis really brings the world and characters to life and Tolkien's writing shines when read aloud. The characters are wonderful and the story has some excellent messages.
