Frodo Baggins

Lord of the Rings books in order featuring Frodo Baggins. Complete reading order by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Frodo Baggins is the protagonist of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. A hobbit of the Shire, Frodo inherits the One Ring from his uncle Bilbo Baggins and must undertake a perilous journey to Mount Doom to destroy it before the Dark Lord Sauron can reclaim it.
