The Hobbit
by Tolkien, J. R. R.
Material type:
Probably the most famous children�s book of modern times � regularly topping polls for �favourite book� and now available in a Large Type format to complement The Lord of The Rings Large Type trilogy. Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services � as a burglar � on a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo�s life is never to be the same again. The Hobbit became an instant success when it was first published in 1937, and more than 60 years later Tolkien�s epic tale of elves, dwarves, trolls, goblins, myth, magic and adventure, with its reluctant hero Bilbo Baggins, has lost none of its appeal.
