[J.R.R. Tolkien] Why Lord of the Rings?

[Ruler of the Frogs]

I love the name Lord of the Rings. It's kind of timeless. Before I even had the faintest clue of what Lord of the Rings was (how I survived, I do not know) my uncle told me 'You would like Lord of the Rings.' Usually, when someone tells me I'll like something, it doesnt' regester, but when I heard that title, Lord of the Rings, I was enthralled. I wanted to read it! It was captivating, it sounded like adventure. Maybe I'm over exaggerating a bit, but if the Lord of the Rings were titled anything else, it just wouldn't be the same. And I have to agree that the title has a double meaning, 'The Lord' being both Sauron and the Ring, and maybe even Frodo too.
