"Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey "there and back again."--Publisher description.

Sauron has returned... watch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 on Prime Video.

A special collectible hardcover edition of the best-selling classic, featuring the complete story with a sumptuous cover design, foil stamping, stained edges, and ribbon bookmark.

Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End.

But this unlikely hero's contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep to whisk him away on an epic quest "there and back again." They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon...

The essential prelude to The Lord of the Rings, this classic fantasy adventure has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself as one of the most beloved and influential books of the twentieth century. This elegant hardcover—now available for the first time in the United States—is one of five Collector's Editions of J.R.R. Tolkien's most beloved works, and an essential piece of any Tolkien reader's library.

This beautiful collector's edition brings the complete adventure to life, featuring:

  • A Grand Adventure: Follow the hobbit Bilbo Baggins as he is swept from his comfortable life by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves on a journey to reclaim their treasure.
  • The World of Middle-earth: Journey to a realm of wizards, elves, and fearsome goblins, the richly imagined world that would become the setting for The Lord of the Rings.
  • A Legendary Dragon: Face the cunning and dangerous dragon, Smaug the Magnificent, who guards a vast hoard of gold and jewels deep within the Lonely Mountain.
  • Found Family: Watch as a reluctant hobbit, a mysterious wizard, and thirteen determined dwarves forge an unbreakable bond on their perilous journey.
