Fantasy T he Hobbit begins with an introduction to Bilbo comfortably smoking a pipe in his hobbit hole.
Hobbits are ' a little people, smaller than dwarves.
Along comes the wizard Gandalf and a troop of dwarves in search of a burglar for an expedition to reclaim a dragon's stolen treasure horde. Somewhat against his natural lazy inclinations, Bilbo goes with them. To claim our long-forgotten gold . But this is not the end of the adventure. The dwarves, though decent as dwarves go, are greedy for gold and ready to fight men and elves to keep all of the treasure.
