Written at an easier reading level than the trilogy, this is the enchanting prelude to the Lord of the Rings.
Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole by Gandalf the wizard and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. During his adventure, he finds a magic ring—the One Ring—that has a history and power beyond his imagination.
