Description
J.R.R. Tolkien's classic prelude to his Lord of the Rings trilogy...
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.
Written for J.R.R. Tolkien's own children, The Hobbit has sold many millions of copies worldwide and established itself as a modern classic.

5By threenamealTolkien is a delight to read, especially for readers who pace naturally and visualize eagerly. It can be read through if your determined out you can read a bit and pause and think and both are very rewarding methods of reading this book. While not as serious in tone as his other works it is just a grand and beautiful!Hobbit
