Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.

I really love this book. Tolkien uses old English in this book,and it actually ties in with the detail that Tolkien used. It's like Fablehaven, but with no humans and older.

There's humans in Middle-Earth...

Yeah, which kind of stinks for them. I mean, there's a dragon living right next to them, and they don't have any magical powers...

i agree with you, When my dad reads it to us and finds a n old English word he's like, "What the heck does THAT mean?" :)
