Before the Ring, there was a dragon. The Hobbit is the charming and thrilling prelude to The Lord of the Rings, where Bilbo Baggins—an unassuming hobbit—embarks on a grand adventure with a band of dwarves to reclaim their stolen treasure from the fierce dragon Smaug. Along the way, Bilbo encounters trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and a mysterious creature named Gollum, whose "precious" possession will change the fate of the world. Packed with humor, heart, and wonder, this timeless classic is the perfect gateway into the world of Middle-earth and the adventure that started it all.
