Publisher Description

This beautiful gift edition of The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien's classic prelude to his Lord of the Rings trilogy, features cover art, illustrations, and watercolor paintings by the artist Alan Lee. 

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. 

Written for J.R.R. Tolkien's own children, The Hobbit has sold many millions of copies worldwide and established itself as a modern classic.

“It almost feels kind of silly to praise this book, it’s obviously so well written and its story so well-liked. I was expecting to love it but it’s insane how much fun I actually had reading it. It’s a timeless, quirky and yet epic adventure with fights, riddles, songs, friendship… what more could you ask for? It does precisely what it needs to, and it does it perfectly. I also ended up reading the Quest of Erebor from the Unfinished Tales. Seeing more of this story from Gandalf’s perspective was very interesting, would definitely recommend checking it out! Bluefax’s audiobook was so insanely good. And for it to be simply a fan project? It’s far better than the official audiobook (which is already very nice). I’ve never been this in love with an audio version of a book. If you’re thinking of reading The Hobbit, please do yourself a favor and give it a listen! 6 ⭐️ experience!”
