THE HOBBIT: ILLUSTRATED BY TOVE JANSON

Uprooted from the comfortable, unambitious life he led in his hobbit hole in Bag End by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself swept up in an expedition to steal the treasure of Smaug the Magnificent, a formidable and extremely dangerous dragon. Although very reluctant to join this quest, Bilbo surprises himself with his ingenuity and skills as a burglar!
