The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

This first opera of the famous "Ring Cycle" recounts the legend of the Rhinegold, a magic treasure stolen from the rocky depths of the river Rhine by Alberich the Nibelung, a greedy dwarf, who forges it into a ring. From him the gods of Valhalla must wrest it in order to save the goddess Freia from two giants.

In dramatic narrative and colorful pictures, enriched by musical quotations from the most famous scenes, these unique little volumes will delight all lovers of opera.
