Fantasy Amazon US PB Amazon Canada PB Comment: prequel to the Fellowship Series
"This is J.R.R. Tolkein's follow-up, of sorts, to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Hobbit, chronicles a year in the life of Bilgo Baggins' adventure with Dwarfs on a quest. The setting is long ago when myth and magic were real. It is a children's story, to be sure, but it's not childish. I was struck by "craftsmanship" of the setting. I picked this up on audio, mistakenly thinking it was a prequal to ...Rings I don't know where that came from, because I know better. Maybe it was that the audio for ...Rings was closer to $100 and this was less than $40 and though I wanted to get both, I could only get one at that time. Anyway, I'm now looking at a large audio tape bill for the next batch." - Jeff Kreider - RAM |
