This full cast BBC radio adaptation of the 3 books (originally aired back in the 1980s) is just fantastic. The cast is superb, it sticks faithfully to the books as well. return of the King includes extra CD of the original music, which is beautiful.
I listen to this over and over when I travel long haul. Great investment to keep forever.
