Le Hobbit

Bilbo Baggins has no interest in adventures, just warm toast, a full pantry and quiet evenings in his hobbit-hole at Bag End. Then Gandalf the wizard knocks, with thirteen dwarves behind him, and marks his round green door for a burglar. They want him for a journey there and back again, across cold mountain passes and dark goblin-haunted forests, to the Lonely Mountain where Smaug the dragon coils over stolen dwarvish gold. Bilbo is small, soft-footed and terrified, with more courage tucked inside than he knows. To earn his share, he must crawl down a whispering tunnel toward scales, smoke and fire. And comfort will not save him now.
