Book overview

Description Editorial reviews

This definitive paperback edition features nine

illustrations and two maps drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien, and a
preface by Christopher Tolkien.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable,
unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of
his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is
disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of
thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk
him away on an unexpected journey ‘there and back
again’. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of
Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous
dragon…
The prelude to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit has
sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937,
establishing itself as one of the most beloved and
influential books of the twentieth century.
J.R.R. Tolkien's book 'The Fall of Númenor' was a
Sunday Times bestseller w/c 07-11-2022.

Brilliant Edition
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 March 2024
It’s a beautiful book, easy to read pages and feels what
you pay for it. The extra booklet that comes with it would
have been nice to be included in the main book as it can
make inserting the book into the outer hard case slightly
cumbersome but otherwise I love this version

A World I'd Love To Explore To The Ends Of Its Map.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2020
Who would have thought that reading about short, hairy
footed creatures with a peculiar nature and a distinct
lack of wanting to leave the safety of their Hobbit-Hole
would be enjoyable. If you'd asked me before, I would
have unquestionably chosen Elves as my most

"In a hole in the ground there lay the YA fantasy genre.
A nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of swords
and a perfumed smell." One of my favourite genres
seems to have gone to the wargs in the last few years.
The rot probably started when J.K. Rowling...

I love fantasy tales and have seen the hobbit films
several times but shamefully I’d never read the book. I
decided it was about time I did so I purchased this on
kindle and I expected a fairly tough read with it having
been published back in 1937. I was very pleasantly...

"The Hobbit or There and Back Again" is the first story

a pre. And to this day it remains a beloved favorite due
