The Hobbit

The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien ... "I wish I could go back to my Hobbit-hole beside my warm fireplace and the lit lamp!". He often wished also that he could send a message to the wizard asking for help, but this of course was completely impossible, and he quickly realized that if anything was to be done, it must be done by Mr. Baggins alone, without help from anyone. Tolkien is considered the father of modern fantasy, as the worlds of imagination changed after his publication of The Hobbit, then The Lord of the Rings trilogy to open the door to new worlds, for which the greats of this genre acknowledge their gratitude. When he told his children the adventures of this small, confused Hobbit who embarks on an adventure far from his safe home, he created a work that combines the joy of storytelling, the wonder of myths, and the effort of building a new literary world.
