Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.<br><br>A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible . . .

“Okay, so I say that this is the best way to read The Hobbit. And I am dead serious.
I know that annotated books can be difficult to navigate, filled with useless, pointless, or just plain boring information, and can be grossly oversized. That is not the case here.” By Mark Pollock
“This is not a review of Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”. Its having been voted “The Greatest Book of the Millenium” here on Amazon.com says more than enough about the worth of Tolkien’s work. Rather, it is a review of the several hardcover editions of this fantastic story.
There are for major hardcover editions of LOTR, all published by Houghton Mifflin Co. They are essentially the same price, so I will not take that into consideration.” By Chad M. Brick
