Notes

The Hobbit, published in 1937 by J.R.R. Tolkien, is a classic fantasy novel that follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving hobbit who is unexpectedly swept into an epic quest. Recruited by the wizard Gandalf and a group of thirteen dwarves, Bilbo sets out to help reclaim the dwarves’ ancestral treasure from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Along the way, he encounters trolls, goblins, elves, giant spiders, and the mysterious creature Gollum—during which he acquires a magical ring that becomes central to Tolkien’s later Lord of the Rings trilogy. Blending adventure, mythology, and humor, The Hobbit is a timeless tale of courage, growth, and the unexpected heroism found in the most unlikely of characters
