The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolken

Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit, one of a race of short, timid creatures who live in
cozy tunnels and who prefer to keep their lives ordered and predictable. One day,
he unexpectedly finds himself playing host to Gandalf the wizard and thirteen
dwarves. The dwarves, with Gandalf's help, plan to travel to the Lonely Mountain
to recover the treasure that a dragon named Smaug stole from their people long
ago. Gandalf has selected Bilbo to be their burglar. The dwarves are not too
happy with the wizard's choice, especially when Bilbo faints at the first talk
of danger. But Gandalf insists there is more to the little hobbit than meets the

the mountainside where the dwarves have their camp. Then he flies toward Lake-
town, to punish the inhabitants for helping the dwarves. The people of Lake-town
run at the sight of Smaug, but one man, Bard, holds his ground. He kills the
dragon with his last arrow and escapes before Smaug falls, smashing the town.
Believing the dwarves are dead, an army of men, led by Bard, and an army of
elves march toward the Lonely Mountain to divide the treasure. They find to
their surprise that the dwarves are still alive. Bard, because he killed the
dragon, claims his rightful share of the treasure. When the dwarves refuse to
surrender it, the army besieges the mountain. Bilbo tries to end the dispute by
stealing the Arkenstone, the piece of treasure most valued by the leader of the
dwarves. He gives the je...
