Bilbo Baggins, a respectable hobbit from Bag End in the Shire, doesn’t like adventures. They “make you late for dinner,” as he says. But when a nomadic wizard who we all know and love drops in with a company of dwarves on a quest to retrieve a lost treasure, Bilbo finds himself in the middle of a…well, an adventure.
Thus begins an epic adventure that will unite a company of dwarves, one fantastical wizard and one hesitant yet stalwart hobbit as they travel across a magical place called Middle Earth. What are they searching for? Treasure, of course! But to reach the treasure, our friends will brave trolls, and maybe even a dragon.
