The prequel to Tolkien's Lord of The Rings trilogy; The Hobbit introduces a young Biblo Baggins, Gandalf the Grey and the geography of Middle Earth.
Biblo and a dozen dwarf companions - lead by the dauntless Thorin Oakenshield - and, sometimes, accompanied by Gandalf, seek the treasure hoard lost within the Lonely Mountain and guarded by the dragon Smaug.
En route, they battle trolls, goblins, wargs and a host of other creatures, meet with elves, eagles and elderly ravens.

Oh, and Biblo stumbles upon a rather remarkable ring....

Fans of High Fantasy (LOTR esp)

Originally written as a children's novel, The Hobbit is certainly easier reading than LOTR, but it is,typically of its time, still weighty for its intended readership.

Good fun though. Time to journey There and Back Again.
