This classic tale follows Bilbo Baggins as he embarks on an unexpected adventure with a group of dwarves and a wizard. The Hobbit remains a timeless favorite.
Considered one of the most beloved children's books of modern times, The Hobbit has consistently ranked as a favorite among readers of all ages. This edition is now available in a Large Type format, making it accessible to even more fans. It serves as a wonderful complement to The Lord of The Rings Large Type trilogy, inviting readers to immerse themselves in Tolkien's richly crafted world.
The story follows Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who relishes his peaceful and uneventful life. However, everything changes when the wizard Gandalf and a group of dwarves arrive at his doorstep, seeking Bilbo's assistance as a burglar on a perilous quest to reclaim treasure guarded by the fearsome dragon, Smaug. This unexpected adventure leads Bilbo far from his cozy home and into a world filled with danger, excitement, and self-discovery.
Since its publication in 1937, The Hobbit has captured the hearts of millions, maintaining its status as a classic fantasy tale. With its enchanting mix of elves, dwarves, trolls, and magic, the story continues to resonate with readers. Bilbo Baggins, the reluctant hero, embarks on a journey that not only transforms his life but also leaves a lasting impact on the realm of literature.
‘The Hobbit belongs to a very small class of books which have nothing in common save that each admits us to a world of its own. Its place is with Alice and The Wind in the Willows.’
