The Hobbit
Bilbo Baggins values meals, comfort, and the predictable peace of his hobbit-hole until Gandalf and a company of dwarves recruit him for a quest. Their goal is to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and its treasure from the dragon Smaug, but the road leads through trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and a fateful riddle contest. Bilbo's cleverness and compassion grow alongside his courage, changing both the expedition and his understanding of himself. Warm, adventurous, and rich in fireside storytelling, this classic is ideal for family reading, a long winter evening, or the first step into Middle-earth.
