Meet Bilbo Baggins, a respectable hobbit who prefers his armchair to adventure and his pantry to peril. But when the wizard Gandalf and a rowdy company of dwarves arrive at his door, Bilbo finds himself swept into an epic quest to reclaim treasure from Smaug the Magnificent—a dragon as cunning as he is deadly. Along the way, our reluctant hero will discover courage he never knew he possessed, encounter a mysterious creature named Gollum, and find a magic ring that will echo through literary history.
Whether you’re introducing a young reader to the magic of Tolkien or revisiting this beloved classic yourself, The Hobbit remains what it has always been: a masterfully crafted tale of bravery, friendship, and the unexpected hero in all of us. It’s the essential prelude to The Lord of the Rings and a perfect gift for little hobbits—and big ones—everywhere.
One of the best loved characters in English fiction... a marvellous fantasy adventure
A finely written saga of dwarves and elves, fearsome goblins and trolls... an exciting epic of travel and magical adventure, all told with the professor's richly imaginative and learned command of word and fable
The Hobbit belongs to a very small class of books which have nothing in common save that each admits us to a world of its own. Its place is with Alice and The Wind in the Willows.
A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible... All those, young or old, who love a fine adventurous tale, beautifully told, will take The Hobbit to their hearts.
One of the most freshly original and delightfully imaginative books for children that have appeared in many a long day
The Hobbit is a book which, in a sense, has no business to be written at all. It need never have existed, but since it does, the English-speaking world is the richer.
A flawless masterpiece
The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and those who are going to read them.
