The Hobbit

Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit of the Shire who values comfort above all else, is swept into a perilous quest by the wizard Gandalf and a company of thirteen dwarves. Their goal is to reclaim their ancestral home from Smaug, a dragon who has hoarded a vast treasure in the Lonely Mountain. As the journey progresses, Bilbo discovers unexpected courage and resourcefulness, mastering the art of burglary and navigating a world of trolls, goblins, elves, and giant spiders.
