First edition, 6th Impression of " The Return of the King", published in 1960 by Allen & Unwin in a print run of only 3,000 copies. The third part of the famous trilogy 'The Lord of the Rings' (1954-1955) by J.R.R. Tolkien. An excellent copy with bright, undamaged red cover with bold gold gilt lettering. The binding is tight, and the pages are clean without any inscriptions or marks. The folding map in red and black at the rear also looks as new. Excellent unclipped 6th impression dust jacket with hardly any wear and only very minor browning towards the spine. A fine copy in an almost fine dust jacket.

The Return of the King is the third and final part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings, following The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. In this compelling conclusion, the narrative follows Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, and the rest of the company as they prepare for the final battle for Middle-earth. The fate of the One Ring is decided and the true king is set to reclaim his throne. Rich in mythology and bursting with heroic battles, Tolkien's masterpiece brings to a close the tales of Hobbits, Elves, Men, and Orcs, as described in the widely acclaimed first edition.
