Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable, is central to the enmity of two of the greatest powers in the world. Morgoth of the uttermost evil seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city of his Elven enemies, while the gods in Valinor refuse to support Ulmo Lord of Waters' designs to protect it. Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, and guided unseen by Ulmo he sets out on the fearful journey to Gondolin to warn them of their coming doom.

Story
J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron.

There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings. The story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.

Story
Combined into one volume, this is the definitive collection of Tolkien's five acclaimed modern classic 'fairie' tales in the vein of The Hobbit, read by Derek Jacobi. The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are joined here in one volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for listeners young and old.

The radio dramatisation of The Hobbit became a classic when it was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1968 and it continues to delight today. Tolkien's famous saga, the prelude to the Lord of the Rings, has all the ingredients of fantasy and adventure: dwarves, elves, goblins and trolls, a fearsome dragon, a great wizard, a perilous quest, and a dramatic climax.

An old, but faithful, brief telling of Tolkien.

Publisher's Summary
This brand-new unabridged audiobook of The Two Towers, the second part of J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic adventure, The Lord of the Rings, is read by the BAFTA award-winning actor, director and author Andy Serkis.
The company of the Ring is torn asunder. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin - alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
This continues the classic tale begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its awesome climax in The Return of the King.
Critic Reviews
"Masterpiece? Oh yes, I’ve no doubt about that." (Evening Standard)
"The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and those who are going to read them." (Sunday Times)
An extraordinary book. It deals with a stupendous theme. It leads us through a succession of strange and astonishing episodes, some of them magnificent, in a region where everything is invented, forest, moor, river, wilderness, town and the races which inhabit them.’ (The Observer)

Serkis gives Tolkien's masterpiece the reading it deserves!
Tolkien's masterpieces brought to life absolutely brilliantly! Serkis' narration is very easy to listen to. Every character he brings to life with unique voices for each of them, some very close to their movie counterparts. Gollum obviously is perfect and a real treat every chapter he's in.
This is my new favourite way to consume LOTR, nearly a 70 hour trip through Middle Earth

Obviously Tolkien's work is as that of somebody at the very top of their trade, but Andy Serkis' performance is brilliant also. Really enjoyed it. The Fellowship also. Looking forward to the next one.

Too much voice acting
I’m sure that this version will work for some people but the voice acting was massively over the top for me. I don’t like/need the help in imagining the voices. The shouting and accents were consistently annoying.

A Triumph!
One of the greatest stories ever written, narrated by a simply fantastic performer. A hundred years from now, I would not be surprised if this is the definitive way to experience “Lord Of The Rings”. I had not known that Andy Serkis was the voice of Gollum, but it becomes clear as soon as his voice is heard. What’s more incredible, however, is just how well Andy Serkis captures the voice, and spirit of each character.
This has been a joy to listen to, and I greatly look forward to the final book!
