	The Hobbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hobbit is a fantasy novel written by J.R.R. Tolkien originally as a children's story in the tradition of the fairy tale.
		Initially he heard nothing further, but when he was sent galley proofs of a new edition he learned to his surprise the new chapter had been incorporated as the result of a misunderstanding.
		One of the first was The Hobbit, a computer game developed in 1982 by Beam Software and published by Melbourne House for most computers available at the time, from the more popular computers such as the ZX Spectrum, and the Commodore 64, through to such esoteric computers as the Dragon 32 and Oric computers.

		The bowing hobbit emblem on the front and the dwarf's hood emblem on the spine are filled with bright red.
		Surviving dust-jackets on the first edition are exceedingly rare and have never been seen by this author in connection with any printing but the first (with the bowing hobbit on the title page).
		American second edition dust-jackets are nearly identical to British, except that Houghton Mifflin is printed at the bottom of the spine instead of George Allen Unwin.

	Tolkien Library: books written by Tolkien The Hobbit or There and Back Again
		Certainly this particular hobbit is the last person one would expect to see set off on a hazardous journey; indeed, when the wizard Gandalf the Grey stops by one morning, "looking for someone to share in an adventure," Baggins fervently wishes the wizard elsewhere.
		The first printing of the first English language edition rarely sells for under $10,000 US dollars in any whole condition, and clean copies in original dust jackets signed by the author are routinely advertised for over $40,000.
		However as Tolkien continued writing it, he decided that the events of The Hobbit could belong to the same universe as The Silmarillion, and he introduced or mentioned characters and places that figured prominently in Tolkien's legendarium, specifically Elrond, Gil-galad and Gondolin.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Hobbit (Collins Modern Classics S.): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		An unassuming and rather plump hobbit (as most of these small, furry-footed people tend to be), Baggins finds himself unwittingly drawn into adventure by a wizard named Gandalf and 13 dwarves bound for the Lonely Mountain, where a dragon named Smaug hordes a stolen treasure.
		The hobbit conjures up a magical world, where mountains grow high, elves and hobbits wander the land, where caves and rivers are filled with creatures: some evil, while some are nice.
		Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit (think of a cross between a leprechaun, a dwarf, and a human) who dislikes adventures (or does he?) but gets caught up in one of the most memorable adventure tales ever written.

	A History of Thrain(s) in The Hobbit
		No further changes to the text of _The Hobbit_ were made, because Tolkien viewed it as being consistent with the earlier Thrain from the start, but the prefatory note was added for the benefit of readers who had not thought through the map's implications.
		February 1966: The third edition of _The Hobbit_ is published in the UK (in paperback) [Bib].
		That name was associated with the stone without alteration from the first edition of the book to the last (and apparently throughout the final typescript and the proofs: Michael Martinez informs us that Douglas Anderson never saw the name "Arkenstone of Thror" at any stage of revision, even during the Thrain/Thror reversal).

		However as Tolkien continued writing, he decided that the events of The Hobbit could belong to the same universe as The Silmarillion, and he introduced or mentioned characters and places that figured prominently in his legendarium, specifically Elrond and Gondolin.
		But with its English connontations of a small, secretive, and unattractive creature (see garden gnome) Tolkien removed it from later editions.

		He made up languages that existed in relationship to languages and dialects that we have in english, and thus created a nightmare for Translators.
		The reason for my bad rating of this PARTICULAR edition of JRR Tolkien's works is that the books are riddled with typographical errors, some so severe that they change the meaning of sentences, effectively reversing the author's intent.

	Tolkien Library: books written by Tolkien The History of Middle Earth edited by christopher Tolkien
		To be fair to the publisher, this hobbit was modeled on the hobbit figure in Tolkien's illustration, Conversation with Smaug.
		As Tolkien was writing the Hobbit sequel, The Lord of the Rings, he became aware of inconsistencies between the characterization of Gollum in the Hobbit and the features of desperation and obsession with the Ring that were required as motivation for his behavior in The Lord of the Rings.
		Similar in design and format to the first Allen &Unwin 1937 edition, but this is the third edition and also the 16th impression counting from the 1st/1st edition of 1937.

		The definitive edition of this beloved children's classic, featuring a wealth of accompanying illustrations and notes which take the reader further into both the story, and the tale of how it was written.
		The Hobbit is, therefore, an ideal book for annotation: as well as offering a marvellous and entrancing story, it introduces the reader to the richly imagined world of Middle-earth, a world more fully and complexly realised in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.
		In an appendix there are details of the revisions made by Tolkien at various times to the publsihed text, which provide an uncommon and privileged glimpse into the special concerns of an exceptional and painstaking writer.

	Press Release for The Annotated Hobbit published by Houghton Mifflin Company
		And there is a long introduction on the writing and publication of the first edition of The Hobbit, and at the back of the book, an appendix on runes, a bibliographical guide to Tolkien's works, and a detailed listing of the forty-one translations of The Hobbit.
		After The Hobbit was published and the publisher asked to see Tolkien's other writings, he submitted some of the various legends, but they were not found suitable as a successor to The Hobbit.
		When Tolkien began to write The Lord of the Rings, an actual sequel to The Hobbit, the new book quickly took on the grander scale and higher tone of the earlier legendarium, and it became as much a sequel to "The Silmarillion" as it was a sequel to The Hobbit.

		J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, which first appeared on the literary scene in 1937, receives elegant and appropriately fantastical treatment with Peter Sis's artwork on the jacket just in time for the December release of The Fellowship of the Ring.
		The dialogue is less influenced by Old English, and the pace is a lot faster (not surprising, since it was originally read to his kids before bedtime).
