The Harvard Lampoon: Bored of the Rings

Frontcover (157 k)

On the back of the book:
The ultimate best-selling parody of The Lord of the Rings!

"A comic masterpiece...a brilliant parody of J.R.R. Tolkien's famous The Lord of the Rings trilogy. A gem of irreverence... A catch-22 for lovers of the days of yore." - Book Nook, Harvard Daily News

A quest, a war, a ring that would be grounds for calling any wedding off, a king without a kingdom, and a little, furry "hero" named Frito, ready - or maybe just forced by the wizard of Goodgulf - to undertake the one mission which can save Lower Middle Earth from enslavement by the evil Sorhed...Luscious Elfmaidens, a roller-skating dragon, ugly plants that can soul-kiss the unwary to death - these are just some of the ingredients in the wildest, wackiest, most irreverent excursion into fantasy realms that anyone has ever dared to undertake.

For everyone who has delighted in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy masterwork - or anyone who's just looking for a good laugh - Bored of the Rings is the "all-in-one-volume" comic extravaganza that will convince lovers and haters of fantasy that they've finally experienced it all, and that they'll never need to read another fantasy parody again.
