The Hobbit
Overview & Summary
Comfort-loving hobbit Bilbo Baggins is recruited by the wizard Gandalf and a company of thirteen dwarves to help reclaim their homeland and treasure from the fearsome dragon Smaug, a journey that takes him through trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and a fateful riddle contest with a strange creature named Gollum, during which Bilbo acquires a mysterious ring. J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel is the prelude to The Lord of the Rings and one of the foundational works of modern fantasy.
