Probably the most famous children's book of modern times -
regularly topping polls for 'favourite book' and now available in a
Large Type format to complement The Lord of The Rings Large Type
trilogy. Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no
desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the
wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist
his services - as a burglar - on a dangerous expedition to raid the
treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo's life is never to be the
same again. The Hobbit became an instant success when it was first
published in 1937, and more than 80 years later Tolkien's epic tale
of elves, dwarves, trolls, goblins, myth, magic and adventure, with
its reluctant hero Bilbo Baggins, has lost none of its appeal.

Religious Education as a Dialogue with Difference addresses current
issues over the study of religion in publicly maintained schools.
Are liberal, inclusive approaches to the study of religion suited
to the aims of education in a democracy? Do liberal democratic aims
offer the right framework for the study of religion? By presenting
research on English secondary school pupils' motivation in
religious education, this volume argues that religious education is
best understood as a democratic dialogue with difference. The book
offers empirical evidence for this claim, and it demonstrates how
learners gain in religious literacy, both through the exercise of
democratic citizenship in the classroom and towards the goal of
life-long democratic citizenship.
