📖 Interesting fact about The Lord of the Rings
J.R.R. Tolkien originally intended The Lord of the Rings to be just ONE book! 😮
His publisher eventually divided the enormous manuscript into three volumes:
📕 The Fellowship of the Ring
📗 The Two Towers
📘 The Return of the King
So technically, “The Lord of the Rings” is one novel, published as three volumes.
And here's an even more interesting detail: Tolkien didn’t originally intend the three titles to represent three separate stories — they are parts of one continuous narrative. 💍
Did you know? 🤯
The Lord of the Rings was written as one massive novel, not a trilogy. It was later published in three volumes because of publishing and practical considerations. 💍📚
