Lord of the Rings is a epic fantasy story originally written by Oxford professor J. R. R. Tolkien. Originally a sequel to The Hobbit (1937), evolved into a massively popular storyline of it's own. It is the second best selling novel ever written. These are behind the scenes pictures of the extensive work that went into making the movies.
