The Hobbit, Or There And Back Again
(J.R.R. Tolkien)
The Hobbit, or there and back again
Written by J.R.R. Tolkien
Abstract by Brett Hawkins
Dragons and Dwarves abound in this timeless tale by legendary fantasy
author J.R.R. Tolkien! Taking place 50 years before The Lord of
the Rings trilogy, Bilbo Baggins was just an ordinary Hobbit when he is
scuttled off to adventure by Gandalf the Gray and 13 dwarves.
Bilbo must use his keen wits and small size to outwit and elude
whatever stands in his way. Follow him as he and his companions
journey through the always spellbinding world of Middle Earth. Hiding
from Trolls, engaging in a riddle contest and even battling a dragon
are not beyond our terrified little hero as he ventures further from
The Shire as any other Hobbit ever has.
J.R.R Tolkien's imagination knows no bounds as this epic tale pulls you
in, drawing you to the side of Bilbo Baggins and his companions in
their seemingly neverending quest for fortune. Mr. Tolkien spared no
expense of the mind as he tells this story. Be warned, this book is
almost impossible to put down!
Written in a simple, yet intellectual style, this book is easy for most
fans to read. Ecspecially the younger ones. Both children and adults
alike will thoughtly enjoy J.R.R. Tolkien's first and one of his
greatest attempts at fantasy writing.
One could even say that it was this story, The Hobbit, that set the
base on which all modern fantasy is written. No other fantasy author in
history has ever come this close to creating an entire world, not just
a story, with this type of detail. Others have stated that each
time they read The Hobbit, some other detail was found, thus increasing
their understanding of how Middle Earth works.
Try not to lose yourself in Middle Earth, some have, and have never
returned. You may think of Hobbits as predictable and easy going, but
Bilbo proves that among all of Middle Earth's creatures, it is Hobbits,
that just might surprise you the most.
