All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring—the ring that rules them all—which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose."

I started the first one today and the trees aloud worked fine. I get home and decide to listen to more but now it will not work. I was told the publisher turned off the read aloud feature. how can that happen after I bought the books? this is the reason I will only give one star. not because of the book but the publisher",
