Best Answer

Bilbo was 53 when he returned from the adventure with the dwarves and the start of The Lord of the Rings is the celebration of his eleventy-first birthday. The one who possesses the ring of power has an extended life. In the Fellowship book Frodo actually had the ring a long time before he even sets off on the journey, many years. But he never wears it during that time, it stays hidden.

Frodo left the Shire 76 years after Bilbo returned.

How long did it take to write The Lord of the Rings?

Tolkien began writing The Lord of the Rings as a series of sequels to The Hobbit in 1937 and completed the full set of six sequels in 1949. Initially he tried to convince his publisher to have The Lord of the Rings published as one complete volume to be followed by The Silmarillion in another volume, but his publisher rejected The Silmarillion as they wanted only "hobbit stories" not a "mythology of Middle Earth", which they saw as uninteresting to their readers. For economic reasons The Lord of the Rings was published in three volumes over the course of a year from 29 July 1954 to 20 October 1955.
