The classic bestseller behind this year''s biggest movie, this
film tie-in edition features the complete story of Bilbo Baggins''
adventures in Middle-earth, with a striking cover image from Peter

the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very
dangerous dragon...The prelude to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit
has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937,
establishing itself as one of the most beloved and influential
