by J. R. R. Tolkien John Ronald Reuel Tolkien The stirring adventure that begins The Lord of the Rings, the greatest fantasy epic of all time When Thorin Oakenshield and his band of dwarves embark upon a dangerous quest to reclaim the hoard of gold stolen from them by the evil dragon Smaug, Gandalf the wizard suggests an unlikely accomplice: Bilbo Baggins, an unassuming Hobbit dwelling in peaceful Hobbiton. Along the way, the company faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and worse. But as they journey from the wonders of Rivendell to the terrors of Mirkwood and beyond, Bilbo will find that there is more to him than anyone—himself included—ever dreamed. Unexpected qualities of courage and cunning, and a love of adventure, propel Bilbo toward his great destiny . . . a destiny that waits in the dark caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, where a twisted creature known as Gollum jealously guards a precious magic ring. 320 pages Publisher : Random House Worlds Date Published : July 12, 1986 17 other members have this in Catalog![]() ehlanadanae owns this book ![]() Memnoch26 owns this book ![]() Cao Junzai owns this book ![]() edmaru owns this book ![]() zyrandiel owns this book ![]() keridas owns this book ![]() miongmiong owns this book ![]() luifilipp owns this book ![]() aderyn owns this book ![]() yna17 owns this book ![]() tpunz00 owns this book ![]() butterscotch owns this book ![]() harriet_chan has read this book ![]() avidreader has read this book ![]() sarahcruz24 has read this book ![]() DS Quinio has read this book ![]() tuneerocks wants this book Talk about this |
