Note
This is the story of how a Baggins had an adventure,
and found himself doing and saying things altogether unexpected...
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable,
unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole
in Bag End. But his company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day
to whisk him away on a journey 'there and back and again'. They have a plot to
raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous
dragon...
The prelude to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit has
sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself
as one of the most beloved and influential books of the twentieth century.
