The Hobbit follows Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving, unambitious hobbit who is pulled into a perilous quest to help a company of dwarves reclaim dragon-guarded gold from the Lonely Mountain. Along the way he faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and Smaug himself — and surprises even himself with the resourcefulness and cunning he never knew he had. If this book speaks to you, you are drawn to quest-driven worlds, non-human peoples, and the reluctant hero who grows into something larger.
