A peace-loving hobbit is about to embark on a strange and magical adventure, in the unforgettable, timeless story of Bilbo Baggins. Content with a quiet, comfortable life and no particular wish to travel anywhere at all, Bilbo’s world is turned upside down the day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive uninvited and enlist him as a burglar for a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Nothing in Bilbo’s life will ever be quite the same again.

In print continuously since its first publication in 1937, it continues to delight new generations of readers across the globe, and its hero Bilbo Baggins has long since earned his place among fiction’s immortal characters.
