Summary: The Hobbit


First published in the United States more than sixty years ago, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit (prelude to The Lord of the Rings) has become one of the best-loved fantasy classics of all time.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit...

This is the enchanting story of Bilbo Baggins, a quiet and contented hobbit whose life is forever changed when he joins the wizard Gandalf and thirteen dwarves on their quest to reclaim stolen treasure. Soon Bilbo finds himself facing evil orcs, savage wolves, giant spiders, and worse, unknown dangers. Finally it is Bilbo — alone and unaided — who must face the guardian of the treasure, Smaug, the most fearsome dragon in all of Middle-earth...
