The Hobbit: Tolkien's Classic Epic Fantasy Adventure

by J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit follows Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who wants nothing more than a quiet life, as he's dragged out his front door and onto a road that leads to a dragon's treasure. It's a cozy-then-perilous quest fantasy, funny and frightening by turns, and surprisingly tender about what courage actually costs an ordinary person.
