Summary: This is a tale of middle earth. A tale of a wizard, 13 dwarves, and one special hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who go on an adventure to retrieve a horde of treasure that was stolen by the dragon, Smaug.
Personal Thoughts: Tolkien's middle earth is a fully realised world that is one of the fantasy genre's biggest gems. A few years ago, I read almost all of the books (from The Hobbit to the Lord of the Rings series to the Histories of Middle Earth series) at the insistence of a good friend and was glad I did. This book tells the tale of Bilbo Baggins (Frodo's uncle) and how he got caught up in an adventure with Gandalf and 13 dwarves who were on an adventure to reclaim the dwarves' mountain from the dragon Smaug. Along the way Bilbo meets many different characters mentioned or alluded to in the Lord of the Rings series.
