Note: The provision of a synopsis is in no way intended to discourage you from reading the book. Rather, it is to help first time Lord of the Rings readers to keep the somewhat convoluted elements of the story straight.

The Journey

The Road Goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And I must follow if I can
Pursuing it with nimble feet until it joins another way
Where many paths and errands meet
And whither then I cannot say
