    Truly the Lord Of the Rings is one of my favorites. As a young child I remember reading the Trilogy. All about Middle Earth and the Ring, all revealed what human nature was all about and the good vs. evil and the morale lessons in each of the three. I shall never forget them & I feel they had a hidden purpose, revealed only when I believed on Jesus Christ.
