The Hobbit
J. R. R. Tolkien didn't just write The Lord of the Rings. He also wrote The Hobbit, another tale of Middle Earth. The Hobbit is a much lighter story than Tolkien's famous epic. It is sometimes titled There and Back Again, and that's exactly what it is: it's a story about a hobbit who goes on a journey. This, in itself, is unusual, because hobbits are stay-at-home folk, who don't care for adventures (which tend to make meal times irregular). Bilbo Baggins goes on an adventure with thirteen dwarves and a wizard; he is the Burglar. They plan to reclaim the ancient treasure under the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves' rightful heritage, taken from them by Smaug, a fearsome dragon. Did you know that there is a two part movie adaptation planned? The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is set to release on December 14, 2012. If you want to read the book before the movie, you can buy it here![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_ujQ0dAKRqrin7mAxXefLVptgmxowyG17XGvZk-Uso_703IFK9TKuLdu6IgaNJ1M7HGJyDMRzVgW9jJS86ioYr8T_48V4DHnuxtcQNjIf4yy92OY2uBsb-NUa0lhxW5c9Tf0W-1ovPRg3pEeow=s0-d)
