“Yth esa hobys tregys in toll i’n dor. Nyns o hager-doll plos ha glëb, lenwys a dharnow bùluk hag a dhrog-saworen lisak. Nyns o va toll sëgh tewesek lobm naneyl, heb tra vëth ino dhe sedha warnodho na dhe dhebry. Toll hobys o, hag yma hedna ow styrya confort.”		“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it ti sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

The beloved fantasy classic for readers of all ages, about a hobbit called Bilbo Baggins who is whisked off on an unexpected journey by Gandalf the wizard and a company of thirteen dwarves. The Hobbit is a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves and giant spiders, conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather unwilling presence at the Battle of Five Armies are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of children's fiction.
