The Hobbit is the story of Bilbo Baggins, a simple, respectable
little person who is content with his sleepy life in the Shire
until an old wizard and thirteen dwarves hijack him for a grand
adventure to slay a dragon and win back a lost treasure, forcing
him to grow out of his comfortable little world. Along the way he
encounters merry elves, ferocious trolls, wicked goblins, and other
fantastic characters and creatures before coming face to face with
the vile dragon himself. The Hobbit is the prelude to The Lord Of
The Rings.
Thorin Oakenshield was the leader of the company that set out to
reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug the Dragon. Bilbo Baggins
was hired as the company's Burglar, and it was on the journey that
the Hobbit found the One Ring. The quest was successful, but Thorin
did not survive to reign as King under the Mountain, for he was
mortally wounded at the Battle of the Five Armies.
