Description : The Fellowship of the Ring takes place several decades after the Hobbit left off. Bilbo is now 111 (eleventy-one as Bilbo would say) and ready to go quietly off and enjoy his life to the end of his days. The ring is entrusted to Frodo's care. Through Gandalf's inquiries, we come to find out that the ring is the One Ring. "One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them."
Frodo must leave the Shire to keep the Shire safe and keep the ring out of the hands of the Ringwraiths and Sauron. Frodo's travels take him through many treacherous paths and eventually he makes it to Rivendell, the house of Elrond. This seems to be where Frodo shows his true valor. He originally thought his journey was over since the ring was in Rivendell. But, he vows to take the ring to Mordor once he sees the turmoil it creates. It is truly an evil ring and will corrupt even those who would use it for good. Nine set out for Mordor to destroy the ring; Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, Aragron (known by many names - Strider, the Ranger, and Isildur's heir), Boromir (a man and a son of Gondor), Legolas (an elf), and Gimli (a dwarf and son of Gloin who was one of the dwarves in the Hobbit on Bilbo's grand adventure).
The book follows them through the mines of Moria (where Gandalf stands against a Balrog), to Lothlorien (where we meet Lady Galadriel), and down the river towards a decision yet to be made - through the marshes towards Mordor, or over the mountain pass towards Gondor. This is where the Fellowship of the Ring ends - the Fellowship has a parting of the ways - Frodo and Sam go in one direction and the fate of the others in another.
