But as they journey from the wonders of Rivendell to the terrors of Mirkwood and beyond, Bilbo will find that there is more to him than anyone—himself included—ever dreamed. Unexpected qualities of courage and cunning, and a love of adventure, propel Bilbo toward his great destiny . . . a destiny that waits in the dark caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, where a twisted creature known as Gollum jealously guards a precious magic ring.

"I’ve read this novel near a hundred times. It was actually the very first “real” book that I ever read. My imagination stirs at the serene and suspenseful journey of someone who before the story understands adventure only as something dangerous and ill-advised, but returns as a wizened person who has experienced strange and wondrous things and who does not regret any of the hardships that shaped him into a greater person.
