"The Hobbit" is a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves and giant spiders, conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather unwilling presence at the Battle of Five Armies are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of childrens fiction. Written by Professor Tolkien for his own children, "The Hobbit" met with instant critical acclaim when published. Now the book is available for the first time in Hawaiian, in a superb translation by R. Keao NeSmith. The book includes all the drawings and maps by the author.
