The Hobbit is a famous children's story written by J.R.R. Tolkien, which was first published in 1937. It has been continually in print since then. The story tells of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit of the title, and his companions, including the wizard, Gandalf and a band of dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield, as they traverse the fictional Middle Earth to retrieve the treasure of the dragon, Smaug.

The events in this story take place before those in the even more famous Lord of the Rings.
