The Hobbit is a fantasy novel set before the “Time of Men” and follows Bilbo Baggins’ attempts to win treasure from a dragon. It is the ultimate quest adventure story. At the end, the characters introduced throughout face off in a Battle of Five Armies. The story is about personal growth, heroism, and war. World War I influenced J.R. Tolkien’s work and led to the Lord of the Rings. Few works have been as influential and important. The Hobbit belongs in the same pantheon as Shakespeare or Dickens.
