Special collector's film tie-in hardback of the best-selling
classic, featuring the complete story with a sumptuous cover design
inspired by THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY and brand new
reproductions of all the 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.
