Anderson, in the 1994 HarperCollins edition of The Fellowship of the Ring.Because the three-volume binding was so widely distributed, the work is often referred to as the Lord of the Rings " trilogy". In a letter to the poet W. H. Auden, who famously reviewed the final volume in 1956, [57] Tolkien himself made use of the term "trilogy" for the work [T 14] though he did at other times consider this incorrect, as it was written and conceived as a single book. [T 15] It is often called a novel; however, Tolkien objected to this term as he viewed it as a heroic romance. [T 16] After some perilous travel and character introductions, including Aragorn (Mortensen), Legolas (Bloom), and Saruman (Christopher Lee), a plan is devised to destroy the Ring in the fires of Mordor's Mount Doom, where the Rings of Power were forged. The plan is to be carried out by a ragtag group dubbed the Fellowship of the Ring: the wizard Gandalf; the hobbits Frodo, Samwise, Merry, and Pippen; the elf Legolas; the dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies); and humans Aragorn and Boromir (Sean Bean).
