Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug's left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance! Whisked from his comfortable hobbit-hole by Gandalf the wizard and a band 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...

*This vintage paperback edition is in good condition.  The spine has a barely-there crease.  The cover is rubbed and there is a slight crease on the back lower corner.  Upper corners are very slightly fanned.  Obviously treated with care or almost never read.
