Once upon a time, there lived a hobbit named Bilbo. In case you didn't know, hobbits are small creatures, about the height of dwarves, but they are not dwarves. They don't grow beards, they don't mine for gold, and they don't practice magic. However, they know how to walk silently and disappear in the blink of an eye when necessary. Most of all, they love making their cozy holes comfortable, eating hearty meals, and generally leading a settled and quiet life.
… And then one morning, Bilbo was just about to have tea when thirteen dwarves and the wizard Gandalf showed up uninvited. Our hobbit had to forget about his lovely hole and set off with them on a great adventure. How much they had to see! Trolls and a dragon, elves and the people of Lake-town, chases, battles, treasure hunting, and much, much more… What it all led to and how it ended—you will find out by reading this wonderful and kind book.
