A great modern classic and the prelude to The Lord of the Rings
This charming pocket-sized edition contains the complete unabridged text and features the original cover illustration, painted by J.R.R. Tolkien himself. The perfect gift for little Hobbits everywhere!
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.

We did not expect the "pocket sized" edition of the book. My daughter was disappointed. Tiny font and it doesn't have as many pictures as the large (normal) edition. Plus, I'm not sure what giant pocket you would fit it in. Felt scammed that it only says it is pocket sized in one small part of the listing for the product. It should be clearly stated that this is the pocket edition.

Great Copy of a Classic

Bought this book and was very pleased with it. I enjoy the throwback to the original style cover but the way Tolkien intended it (publisher limited him to 3 colors for the front, so the sun and dragon were not red. But with this edition, they are red). Good illustrations done for the 75th anniversary. Overall, really pleased with this copy considering the price. Of course, you could drop $30-$50 on a really nice edition of The Hobbit. But, for the price, it definitely beats the paperback.
