Hobbit Audiobook

Tolkien's The Hobbit, which first appeared on the literary scene in 1937, sets the stage for the epic trilogy that Tolkien was to write in the coming years.



Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit, is a peaceful sort who lives in a cozy hole in the Shire, a place where adventures are uncommon--and rather unwanted. So when the wizard Gandalf whisks him away on a treasure-hunting expedition with a troop of rowdy dwarves, he's not entirely thrilled--but he and his fellow travelers rise to the challenge!



This new presentation is further enhanced by a rare interview with Tolkien and expanded versions of music specially commissioned for this program.
