This 1937 fantasy is the prequel, or prelude to the classic epic trilogy THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Bilbo Baggins is the hobbit of the title: a short, round, and hairy-footed creature fond of small comforts and his rural home. What he doesn't like (or at least thinks he doesn't like) is adventure, but that's just what he gets when a wizard and several dwarves show up on his doorstep, eat him out of house and home, and induce him to join them on a perilous mission to steal a dragon's treasure. Along the way, he picks up a golden ring with the power to turn the wearer invisible; this ring will turn out to be central to the later volumes. While THE LORD OF THE RINGS is a serious epic about the nature of good and evil, written in highly formal language and intended for adults, this earlier work is considerably lighter in tone and clearly directed toward a younger audience, having sprung out of the stories that Tolkien used to tell his own children. However, that does not and has not prevented adults the world over from enjoying THE HOBBIT.

My daughter found this book and she wanted it for a gift. The price & quality was good for a leather bound book.
Gorgeous looking book with the most lovely lino cut illustrations in beautiful colours. Bought it for a 30th birthday present and the recipient was very pleased as it looked so special. The story is a classic and this book makes it feel one. Rather keen to get a copy myself now!
The book is beautiful and worth every dollar. It is one of the best leather bound books I have owned and quite the envy of all my friends.
A wonderful story, and a georgious cover, it takes you through middle earth as if you were right there with them. By far the favorite on my shelves, and it will be yours, too!
