Originally published on September 21st, 1937 the Hobbit follows Bilbo Baggins as he is unwittingly (and unwillingly) joins a company of dwarves on a quest to retake the mountain home and treasure from the evil dragon Smaug. The story became quite popular for its simple, yet elegant language that made it both easy and engaging to read without being too simple. In addition, the characters and world of Middle-Earth captivated readers, as a story of this nature had never been seen before. The image featured in this exhibit is the original cover of the book.
