The Hobbit
So good you’ll want to learn Elvish. This fantasy quest is the daddy of them all. Seen the films? Now read the epic book. It all started with Tolkien – right here. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit on a mission! On a deadly journey into the mountains and forests of the Wilderland, to steal a precious treasure from the mighty dragon Smaug. It’s a strange place for a hobbit to be. They’re usually all about their home comforts. But with a bit of help from the great wizard Gandalf (and some rather uncouth dwarves), can Bilbo survive this crazy quest?
- The iconic fantasy that launched Tolkien to fame
- One of the greatest children’s classics of all time
- A stand-alone precursor to The Lord of the Rings
- “A flawless masterpiece” – The Times
