Paperback. Condition: Good. The Hobbit is the unforgettable story of Bilbo, a peace-loving hobbit, who embarks on a strange and magical adventure. A timeless classic. Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services as a burglar on a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Bilbos life is never to be the same again. Seldom has any book been so widely read and loved as J.R.R. Tolkiens classic tale, The Hobbit. Since its first publication in 1937 it has remained in print to delight each new generation of readers all over the world, and its hero, Bilbo Baggins, has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of fiction. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Seller Inventory # GOR000077966

The Hobbit
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Used. In a world where hobbits have little to no concept of personal hygiene and dragons are merely misunderstood fire-breathing lizards with a penchant for hoarding gold, you?ll find yourself irresistibly drawn into the quirks and quibbles of JRR Tolkien?s masterpiece. This particular 1983 Unwin edition of "The Hobbit" is more than just a book; it?s a veritable time capsule of yore, complete with a few dog-eared pages, the faint scent of old tea, and a bookmark that is, frankly, an unsent love letter. It?s the kind of treasure you might stumble upon while searching for an old sock, only to find that this sock has an entire world inside it. Step into the shoes of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit whose idea of a wild night includes second helpings of seed cakes and a good book. But fear not, he?s thrust into an adventure that promises to upend his very snug existence. Imagine if you will, a creature that?s not just cranky, but outright hostile: the dragon Smaug, who refuses to take ?no? for an answer when it comes to his vast mountain of gold. He?s less of a fire-breathing behemoth and more of a very disgruntled landlord, wanting nothing more than to keep those pesky adventurers at bay. As you flip through the pages, you?ll be greeted by a chorus of dwarves who are somehow both heroic and ridiculously incompetent at the same time. They embark on a quest filled with riddles, trolls, and the occasional existential crisis. Should Bilbo take up the mantle of heroism? Or should he just go back home, put his feet up, and contemplate the merits of a good cuppa? Spoiler alert: there?s a lot of running, hiding, and a questionable amount of camaraderie that would make any friendship bracelet blush in shame. Ah, and let us not forget the infamous One Ring?the ultimate piece of bling that?s both coveted and cursed. This shiny trinket doesn?t come with a manual, but it sure does come with a lot of emotional baggage. Imagine the stress of ownership: one minute you?re having a cozy afternoon tea, and the next you?re embroiled in an epic struggle between good and evil. The Ring has more ups and downs than a soap opera star?s career! For those of you considering this delightful tome for your own collection, here are some essential points to ponder: Full of whimsical landscapes and farcical characters that make your in-laws seem rather normal. Includes a world where it?s perfectly acceptable to wear socks with sandals?fashion-forward, indeed! Every page turns like the promise of a grand adventure, though your living room couch may not agree. Offers a veritable buffet of bizarre encounters with creatures that are as likely to steal your heart as they are to steal your gold. Contains more songs than a John Denver concert, which you may or may not appreciate. Condition: This used edition has seen its fair share of adventures, with pages slightly yellowed from endless readings and the occasional smudge that could be a leftover snack from a late-night reading session. Expect a high level of nostalgia with every turn, and perhaps a few surprises in the form of doodles that never quite made it into the final draft of Middle-earth. Don?t let its slightly worn cover fool you; this is a classic that deserves a spot on your bookshelf, if only to impress your guests with your eclectic taste in literature. Whether you?re revisiting Bilbo?s escapades or discovering them for the first time, this edition of "The Hobbit" is a reminder that sometimes, the most magical journeys start from the comfort of your own home. So grab your walking stick, put on your shiniest waistcoat, and prepare to explore the pages of this literary treasure, courtesy of Crappy Old Books. Seller Inventory # 2466
