The Hobbit

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien  322 pp.

I've been spending quarantine time doing a lot of re-reading of old favorites. This one doesn't take much description. The Hobbit of the title, Bilbo Baggins, has his quiet life interrupted by the arrival of Gandalf, the wizard, and a group of dwarfs. Soon he is enlisted in a quest to help the dwarfs retrieve their treasure which was stolen by the large, fearsome dragon, Smaug the Magnificent. It is on this quest that Bilbo acquires the magic ring from a creepy creature called Gollum. The ring allows him to assist the dwarfs in their successful adventure. The audiobook was read by Rob Inglis.
