J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 adventure follows Bilbo Baggins, a respectable hobbit who is recruited by the wizard Gandalf to join a company of thirteen dwarves on a quest to reclaim their mountain home from the dragon Smaug. Along the way Bilbo finds a mysterious ring, outwits a creature called Gollum, and discovers depths of courage he never knew he possessed.

The book has sold over 100 million copies and launched an entire literary mythology. Peter Jackson's three-film adaptation expanded the slim 310-page novel into nine hours of cinema.
