Description

J.R.R. Tolkien's enchanting tale set in Middle-earth follows Bilbo Baggins on an unexpected journey with a company of dwarves, as they seek treasure guarded by the dragon Smaug. Along the way they encounter trolls, goblins, elves, and other wonders in a story that blends myth, adventure, and whimsy. The opening line “In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.” is one of literature's most enduring beginnings.
