Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling farther than his pantry. His contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep, seeking a burglar to help them reclaim their stolen treasure from a dragon. They believe Bilbo is the right hobbit for the job, even if he possesses no discernible skills in thievery and would much rather be left alone with his books and his meals.

Pulled from the peace of his hobbit-hole, Bilbo is thrust into a grand adventure that will take him over the Misty Mountains and through treacherous lands filled with goblins, elves, and giant spiders. He is a small creature in a vast world, facing dangers that challenge his courage and his sense of self. The journey promises a share of immense treasure, but it may cost him the quiet life he holds so dear, forcing him to discover a resourcefulness and bravery he never knew he had.
