The World of J.R.R. Tolkien - The Hobbit

"If you care for journeys there and back, out of the comfortable Western world, over the edge of the Wild, and home again, and can take an interest in a humble hero (blessed with a little wisdom and a little courage and considerable good luck), here is a record of such a journey and such a traveler." --From J.R.R. Tolkien's own description for the original edition
