The Hobbit

Bilbo Baggins is a peace-loving hobbit who lives with other Hobbits in the Shire. He is dragged into an adventure when Gandalf the Gray, a wizard, selects him as the unlikely burglar to accompany a band of dwarves who are on a quest to regain their lost honor and riches from the dragon Smaug. The company encounters trolls, from whom they procure a few choice swords (without the trolls consent) and Elves, who give them supplies for the journey over the mountains.

They begin to cross the Misty Mountains and are captured by goblins. The dwarves and Gandalf manage to escape (and defeat the goblin king in the process) but Bilbo get lost in the tunnels under the mountain. Under the mountains, Bilbo manages to find a ring that turns him invisible, and a shriveled creature named Gollum, with whom he has a riddle-off to save his skin. He rejoins the dwarves, and are chased by wolves, cornered by goblins, saved by eagles and end up having a very good dinner at the home of Beorn, a friend of Gandalf. Beorn gives them supplies and they all troop off to Mirkwood, home of the Wood Elves. Here, Gandalf tells them they are on their own and promptly leaves.

The company loses their way in Mirkwood and get captured by giant spiders. Bilbo saves them with the help of his ring and his Elf-dagger and then they all (except Bilbo who is still invisible) are taken prisoner by the Wood Elves. Bilbo saves them (again) and they end up in Lake Town. They head up the Lonely Mountain, home of the treasure and Smaug and open the secret door with more difficulty then they would have preferred. Smaug smells them, gets angry, get shot with an arrow, gets dead and leaves the mountain to the dwarves. Unfortunately, they cannot enjoy it because the men of Lake Town, the goblins, the Elves, the Wargs (evil wolves), and the eagles decide to have the Battle of Five Armies. Several dwarves die and Bilbo goes home a little sad, a little glad, and very happy that he will be able to eat six meals a day once again.
