The Hobbit Award-winning by J R R Tolkien (author) (UK edition)

Smaug came hurtling from the North, licking the mountain-sides with flame, beating his great wings with a noise like a roaring wind. Against him stood – a hobbit. Poor Bilbo Baggins! A plump and peace-loving hobbit (as those small, furry-footed people tend to be), Bilbo hates adventures. But one day a knock at the door tugs him into a crazy quest, and before long Bilbo is on the road to danger! Whisked from his snug hobbit-hole by Gandalf the wizard and his dwarves, Bilbo is caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent – a large and very dangerous dragon. Seen the film? Now read the epic book. It all started with Tolkien… right here. “A flawless masterpiece.” The Times p(hidden). #reading-lists-9 p(hidden). #reading-lists-11
