The Hobbit is a wonderful fantasy about Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo is a hobbit, human/animal, about the size of a small child. He is covered with fur and lives in a hole, a hobbit hole, by himself. One day, Gandolf, a wizard, comes to tell him that he needs to help others in danger. Bilbo then begins a great adventure where he encounters goblins, trolls, a dragon, and a magical ring. His adventures are full of horror, delight, and wonder. The Hobbit is a great book for all ages.
