The Hobbit: Pocket Edition — J.R.R. Tolkien

For adventures that call for traveling light.

Bilbo Baggins is perfectly happy with the comforts of home: good meals, a well-stocked pantry, and very little happening that could reasonably be described as an adventure. Then Gandalf arrives with thirteen dwarves and an invitation to leave all of that behind.

Ahead lie trolls, goblins, riddles in the dark, the Lonely Mountain, and Smaug the Magnificent guarding a hoard of stolen treasure—not to mention one small ring whose importance will reach far beyond Bilbo’s journey.

This handsome pocket-sized hardcover edition puts Tolkien’s beloved adventure into a format made to travel. Small enough to tuck into a bag but containing precisely the same enormous journey, it’s a lovely companion for reading on the road, giving as a gift, or simply making a little more room for Middle-earth on the bookshelf.

Why We Love It

There is something particularly appropriate about carrying The Hobbit with you.

After all, this is a story about leaving the familiar behind with rather less preparation than you might have preferred and discovering what waits beyond your own front door.

We love that this little edition can come along for the journey. Into a satchel it goes.
