A delightful
introduction to the world of Middle Earth. Follow the adventures (or
misadventures) of a respectable hobbit turned burglar, a wizard and a baker's
dozen of dwarfs in their quest to slay the dragon, redeem the lost treasure and
restore peace and prosperity among dwarfs, elves and men. Along the way, the
young audience will learn the pitfalls and consequences of greed, pride and
arrogance, tempered with a hobbit's good sense, good cheer, compassion and
self-sacrifice.
(Editor's Note: With Peter Jackson's movie The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug out in theaters since Dec. 13 and with his earlier movie based on this book, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey now available on DVD and Blu-Ray, this seemed an apt moment to publish this review from our intrepid reviewer friend, Jon Moss.)
