“Roast Mutton”
- the second chapter from J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy novel, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, better known as The Hobbit, first published in 1937.
In this chapter, the next day, Bilbo and Gandalf meet the Dwarves at The Green Dragon Inn, and from there they set off on their adventure. Bilbo discovers three Trolls, and is captured when he attempts to pick one of the trolls' pockets; when the Dwarves follow, they are also captured.
Note: If you haven't read The Hobbit, you MUST - especially if you are a geocacher, an adventurer at heart. Check it out from the library today!
