Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End.
But this unlikely hero's contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep to whisk him away on an epic quest "there and back again." They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. . .
The essential prelude to The Lord of the Rings, this classic fantasy adventure has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself as one of the most beloved and influential books of the twentieth century.
