reviewed on + 10 more book reviews


Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit who wanted to be left alone in quiet and comfort. But the wizard Gandalf came along with a band of homeless dwarves. Soon Bilbo was drawn into their quest, facing evil orcs, savage wolves, giant spiders and worse, unknown dangers. Finally it was Bilbo--alone and unaided--who had to confront the great dragon Smang, the terror of an entire countryside....

This stirring adventure fantasy begins the tale of the hobbits that was continued by J.R.R. Tolkien in his bestselling epic "The Lord Of The Rings".
