Sourone, the Dank lord of Bad-Odour, is on a mission to reclaim his lost nose ring from his Goth days. To prevent this, stage magician and estate agent, The Grand Alf, enlists the help of several half-witted Halfbits, a drunken Elf, a smelly Dwarf with a fake beard, and two men with the intellect of a single shop dummy between them. No wonder people are fleeing to the Uncrying Lands.

Mark Egginton has lived and breathed The Lord of the Rings for decades (he literally has a copy of the book stuck to his face). His love and knowledge of it has been poured into this parody in a truly unique way. Quick wit and sharp humour will accompany you on this quest to Mount Gloom.

5* "The author obviously knows his Tolkien inside and out to parody LotR with such skill! This kept me laughing for ages." Helen on Amazon.co.uk
 
5* "Should be a movie, a good read if you like lord of the rings you will love this" Amazon Customer on Amazon.co.uk
 
5 * - "An enjoyable book I couldn't put it down. a parody done very cleverly. I'd say the author reads lotr books too much and has a strange sense of humour. Highly recommended looking forward to future works from this author." Amazon Customer on Amazon.co.uk
 
5* - "There are two kinds of parody. The first is basically mockery, often done by people who hate the work they're parodying, or simply as an attempt to cash in on whatever is currently popular. Ultimately, such works are boring and an effort to read because the author is writing in 'sneer' mode.
The second kind of 'parody', which we have here, is more of a tribute: the author actually loves and respects the original work and wants to share his joy in it. Also, and again unlike the mocking kind of parody, this author knows Tolkien's creation backwards, and I'm sure there are jokes and references in here which only other Tolkien obsessives will get!
Basically, fun, knowing, clever, and a little bit silly - reminded me of a kind of Goons/Python/Carry On mash up." By Davem on Amazon.co.uk
