A great modern classic and the prelude to The Lord of the Rings.
Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, almost dead and dark, with
scarcely a snore more than a whiff of unseen steam, when Bilbo
peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out
on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of
red from under the drooping lid of Smaug's left eye. He was only
pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance! Whisked
away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in
Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins
finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of
Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although
quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even
himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar! The text
of this edition has been fully corrected and revised in
collaboration with Christopher Tolkien and is accompanied by a
wealth of beautiful watercolour paintings and delicate pencil
drawings from Alan Lee.
