The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien.epub

Bilbo Baggins is a reasonably typical hobbit: fond of sleeping, eating, drinking, parties and presents. However, it is his destiny to travel to the dwarflands in the east, to help slay the dragon Smaug. His quest takes him through enchanted forests, spiders' lairs, and under the Misty Mountains, where he comes across the vile Gollum, and tricks him out of his 'Precious' - a ring that makes its bearer invisible, and wields a terrible power of its own.

llustrated by Eric Fraser, one of the foremost British illustrators of the 20th century, his images are based on original designs by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. Tolkien had seen her sketches and was so impressed that his executors gave special permission for Fraser to interpret them for a Folio edition. Covers blocked in gold and maps of Middle Earth as endpapers complete this superb edition of one the world’s favourite stories.
