This delightfully irreverent parody of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy masterpiece “The Lord of the Rings” was first published in 1969 by the Harvard Lampoon, the renowned collegiate satirical magazine. “Bored of the Rings” reimagines Middle-earth as a bureaucratic nightmare, with the hobbit Frito Bugger embarking on a quest to rid the lands of the Sauron-inspired villain Arrowroot. The Harvard Lampoon’s razor-sharp wit and clever wordplay skewer the tropes of high fantasy while paying homage to Tolkien’s world-building genius. This 1993 Roc printing captures the enduring appeal of this cult classic, a must-have for fans of parody and those who appreciate a tongue-in-cheek take on beloved literary works. Despite its well-loved condition, the secure binding and clean pages ensure an enjoyable reading experience for collectors and readers alike.
