The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien

This is a new paperback edition of JRR Tolkien's fantasy
masterpiece, "The Hobbit". "The Hobbit" is a tale of high
adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of
dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is
Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who surprises
even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar.
Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves and giant spiders,
conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather unwilling
presence at the Battle of Five Armies are just some of the
adventures that befall Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place
among the ranks of the immortals of children's fiction. Written by
Professor Tolkien for his own children, "The Hobbit" met with
instant critical acclaim when published.
