The journey through Middle-earth begins here with J.R.R. Tolkien's
classic prelude to his Lord of the Rings trilogy. "A glorious
account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and
seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible... All those,
young or old, who love a fine adventurous tale, beautifully told,
will take The Hobbit to their hearts."--The New York Times Book
Review "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." So begins
one of the most beloved and delightful tales in the English
language--Tolkien's prelude to The Lord of the Rings. Set in the
imaginary world of Middle-earth, at once a classic myth and a
modern fairy tale, The Hobbit is one of literature's most enduring
and well-loved novels. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a
comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than
his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the
wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one
day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to
raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large
and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest,
unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will
encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as
Gollum.
