Synopsis
'The Hobbit' is J.R.R. Tolkein's world-famous tale of Bilbo Baggins, who positively loathed adventures but one day found himself embroiled in the greatest adventure in the whole history of Middle Earth. This is the gripping story of how a small and very frightened Hobbit became a hero. How he battled against goblins, befriended elves and out-riddled the most cunning and murderous dragon, Smaug the Terrible and made a deadly enemy of Golum by stealing his precious ring.
