First two books in the series were "Fellowship of the King" and "The Two Trees" so...I'm not entirely convinced they were even very original stories...

So the third must be "Return of the Ring."

Oh, is that the one where Bodo Fraggins goes on a long journey to give back to Soraun the ring he lost?

Frodeo Braggins is a short-statured cowboy with big hairy feet, and has a habit of boasting about improbably grandiose adventures

"Excuse me, Mr. Soraun, sir, I think you lost this a couple thousand years ago."

I'm not a Tolkien fan and even I recognized that, haha.

Wtf.
