Info
The classic
bestseller behind this year’s biggest movie, this film tie-in edition features
the complete story of Bilbo Baggins’ adventures in Middle-earth as shown in the
film trilogy, with a striking cover image from Peter Jackson’s film adaptation
and drawings and maps by J.R.R. Tolkien.
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
contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen
dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected
journey ‘there and back 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.
