About the book

Tolkien's The Hobbit follows Bilbo Baggins, a comfortable and unadventurous hobbit whose quiet life changes when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves invite him on a dangerous journey. Their goal is to reclaim a lost kingdom and treasure guarded by the dragon Smaug. Along the way Bilbo encounters trolls, goblins, elves, giant spiders and the mysterious Gollum, from whom he acquires a remarkable ring. The novel combines humour, fantasy and adventure and serves as the celebrated prelude to The Lord of the Rings.
