Episodes 1 - 4 of BBC Radio 4 series, broadcast 25 November, 2, 9 & 16 December 1980.
Written by APR Marshall and JHW Lloyd (Andrew Marshall and John Lloyd), the credited names being a parody of JRR Tolkien, of whose 'Lord Of The Rings' this is a satirical sideswipe. The style of the performance is very much along the same lines as The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy (which was partially written and mostly produced by John Lloyd, of Blackadder and QI fame), and both Hitch-Hiker's Guide and Lord Of The Rings were very popular radio series at that time - the latter having just been dramatised in 26 weekly parts on Radio 4.

CD recordings are divided into 10 untitled chapters for each episode, with the numberings running from 1 - 20 on each disc.

The inlay is a large (6 CD-sized panels) fold-out colour map of 'The Domain Of Middle Sea In The Elder Times' on one side, with a reproduction of the article about the series from the Radio Times, 22 - 28 November 1980, and the credits, all in mediaeval England art style lettering and faded, worn paper on the other side.
