The Hobbit: Enhanced Edition

About this book

Step through the round green door of Bag End and join Bilbo Baggins on the adventure that launched modern fantasy. Content in his comfortable hobbit-hole, Bilbo has never wanted anything more than a quiet life, until the wizard Gandalf and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive for an unexpected party and a daring proposal: to help reclaim a treasure guarded by the dragon Smaug. J. R. R. Tolkien's beloved classic takes readers from the Shire across the Misty Mountains, through the dark depths of Mirkwood and on to the Lonely Mountain. Along the way come trolls, goblins, giant spiders, riddles in the dark and one very important ring. This Enhanced Edition goes beyond the standard text. It includes a foreword and note on the text, a map of Wilderland, Tolkien's own illustrations and designs, an image of a surviving page of the original manuscript, and a sample from The Lord of the Rings. The edition also features audio of the author singing and reading selected passages. Whether you are meeting Middle-earth for the first time or returning to an old favourite, The Hobbit is a witty, exciting and timeless tale of courage and unlikely heroism, ideal for readers of all ages.
