Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable and quiet life. His contentment is disturbed one day when the wizard, Gandalf, and the dwarves arrive to take him away on an adventure. Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug’s left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance! Whisked from his comfortable hobbit-hole by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves. Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon… ‘A finely written saga of dwarves and elves, fearsome goblins and trolls… an exciting epic of travel and magical adventure, all working up to a devastating climax.’ - Observer • Hallmark of quality fiction. • Builds on Collins’ reputation as a classic children’s publisher. • Ideal gifts (parent/grandparent market). • Ideal for schools. • Stunning covers by David Wyatt. • A beautiful gift edition – new to the Collins Modern Classics series Competition: A Game of Thrones; The Witcher; Chronicles of Narnia; His Dark Materials; Outlander; Stranger Things; Star Wars; Harry Potter; Hunger Games.
