Bored of the rings : a parody of J. R. R. Tolkien's the lord of the rings

by Henry N. Beard, Douglas C. Kenny

This satirical parody of The Lord of the Rings lampoons the characters and tropes of the original fantasy epic. The narrative follows the irreverent journey of Frito and his companions as they navigate a subverted version of Middle Earth.
