There and Back Again a Hobbits Tale
Mutual sense becomes common sense once it is pointed out. Thanks for dropping in.
Come across Bilbo Baggins
The following tale describes what happened to ane detail hobbit, when he opened his perfectly round, front end door. He would ofttimes say.
'Going out of your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't go on your feet, in that location'southward no knowing where y'all might be swept off to'
Source. The Hobbit or There and Back Again. By Bilbo Baggins
Suffice it to say, he rarely had adventures and enjoyed the tranquility life.
This is how a very unusual hero'southward quest began, and how Gandalf invited Bilbo Baggins to share an chance.
Firstly a 'curt' introduction; for those of you who are unfamiliar with Hobbits.

What is a hobbit
Hobbits are small, about one-half the size of a full grown man.
They tend to be fatty, every bit they like good food and drink. Hobbit'south don't tend to wear shoes as they have big anxiety, covered in curly fur.
They take warm friendly faces, and have the everyday kind of magic of becoming invisible, when people like us bumble into their office of the Shire.
Bilbo was in his 50's, which meant that he was a young developed.
Hobbit homes
Bilbo Baggins like most hobbits, preferred a quiet life with plenty of good food, lashings of drinkables, and a prissy cosy hole in the ground to call dwelling house.
These holes in the basis are non damp, smelly or total of bugs, but very comfy and beautifully decorated. Hobbit homes are filled with many well stocked cupboards, pantries and cellars. With fine carpets and very comfortable furniture.
With deep fix windows along the hillside aspect, allowing the sunlight to illuminate the whole interior. All in all a very pleasant hole in the hill.
They have well tended gardens, and beloved nothing better than to grow their own fruit and vegetables. They are particularly happy when tending to their gardens and relaxing.

Many Meetings
Bilbo Baggins' hobbit home was named Pocketbook Stop, in the Shire of Eriador.
The Shire was a specially beautiful and peaceful part of Centre-Earth. The Shire was first settled past Hobbits, in 1601 of the 3rd Age, SR (Shire Reckoning)
Bilbo was an unexceptional hobbit in every respect. He especially liked to know where his next meal was coming from, and did not like adventures at all.
He was still, to become embroiled in one of the biggest adventures; that Shire folk had ever heard of.
Gyre to Keep
The adventures would span several of our lifetimes, and would change Bilbo in means he could never imagine.
There and Back Again, recounts the story of his heroic quest, and departure from his idyllic life.
In and so doing he set in motion a series of events, that would eventually modify the form of history, not only for himself and the Shire, but for the whole of Middle-Earth.
To say that Bilbo was a reluctant hero, would exist an understatement. The last thing he wanted was wild adventures or an unexpected journey.
He did like having visitors, equally long as he knew them, and were of the sensible type.
The Hobbit had heard of strange tales from other parts of Heart-Earth, and would look the place up, on the map, purely in order to avoid going in that location, at all costs.
He had no idea that his simple life was about to exist turned upside down, and an epic story of courage, friendship and loyalty emerges.
It just goes to show what can happen, when a Hobbit, a Wizard and few Dwarves gather.

An Unexpected Journeying
When Gandalf the Wizard, and the first Dwarves began to arrive at Bilbo's home, to hash out and plan their journey. They had many maps to examine and matters to discuss.
'What started out every bit a simple quest to burgle a dragon's hoard of gold and treasure would turn into an adventure of epic proportions. Although it didn't expect like it was going to plough out that way at the fourth dimension.'
Bilbo unremarkably liked visitor, peculiarly when he knew the visitors. He became a trivial perplexed when a seemingly endless drove of Dwarves, began arriving at the round front door, of his lovely petty home.
The uninvited (by Bilbo) guests arrive
The Dwarves who arrived in rapid succession were.
The brothers. Dwalin, a blue disguised Dwarf and Balin, a very old looking Dwarf
Kili and Fili, equipped with tools and a spade for the burglary.
Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin
Gandalf the Magician (considered by some as a troublemaker. Although he did make great fireworks) arrived with. Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield, a rather haughty and aloof character altogether.
13 Dwarves in all. They set almost ordering what they would like to eat and drink, and talking about the run a risk at paw. Dwarves love nothing better than eating, drinking and chatting well-nigh audacious plans. Especially if information technology involves Dragons, gilt and mountains.
Not wanting to be ungracious, Bilbo rushed around finding plates and cups, nutrient and drinkable for the nigh constant flow of new visitors. Whilst Bilbo was completely befuddled by the near constant arrival of new Dwarves he was far besides polite to complain. Hi did think that the Dwarves looked like a rough lot.
Past the time the last visitor had settled in, Bilbo was completely flustered and bewildered.
The Dwarves saw that the hobbit was perplexed, and helped to disperse the victuals to all and sundry.
Bilbo was very tired and sat quietly listening, as the visitor discussed all kinds of terrifying things, including dragons, adventures and treasures, deep into the night.
The assembled company examined the Heart-Earth Maps, to find a manner through, fugitive equally many dangerous places every bit they could. As you may come across from the map below, information technology is full of pitfalls, swamps and other spooky things.
Centre-Earth Maps showing the way to the Lonely Mountain
Baggins the Infiltrator
The discussion revolved effectually how to get into, and relieve the dragon Smaug, of his gold and treasure.
Bilbo found himself drowsily agreeing to a proffer, on how to go about sneaking in undetected. By the side entrance.
Then the Dwarves began to sing a low lament, involving deep places in the world, treasure and such things that conjured dreams in the sleepy hobbit heed, of far away places.
The song pleased the assembled visitor no end, and persuaded them that Bilbo was the very hobbit for the 'task'. He was indeed the perfect burglar and and then relaxed.
This passed by the hobbits sleepy attention, without a flicker of understanding of what he had just heard suggested. As far as he was concerned he had not agreed to go along and that was that.
You must retrieve honey reader, that Bilbo was from a very well to do family. The Bagginses were well respected in the Shire. They were also moderately well off, which meant that they were considered upright pillars of the community. This adventuring malarkey, was against his better judgement, to say the to the lowest degree.
Bilbo was very happy with his life up to this point, and was content to see out the rest of his days, in quiet tranquility in the condolement of Bag cease,
An Unexpected Journey begins
The very next morning, Bilbo woke to find himself lonely and the Dwarves gone. It seems that they had accepted his refusal to be their burglar, and had simply left. At to the lowest degree the house was tidy again and suddenly, very, very quiet.
Past the time he had finished having that last thought, he somehow found himself setting off, no running off, downwardly the route trying to catch up with this motley crew.
He was setting out on an risk, that he has no idea how he got involved in and really cannot believe what he is doing. But he merely keeps going.
Although he did find it intriguing, to listen to the company talk virtually this adventure, somehow he couldn't remember how he had decided to be actually going along too.
How he came to be in this predicament was a mystery to him. Some say that ane of his ancestors on the TOOK side of the family, had gone on an hazard in one case, and maybe he had inherited a piffling of this Tookish beliefs.
Bilbo found himself leaving his dearest Bag End, on an unexpected journey to, who knows where. He didn't fifty-fifty have time to have breakfast, collect a hat, handkerchief, walking stick, or whatever money.
What unfolds in the following chapters, is a brilliant, epic story of action, adventure and heroism, the likes of which few hobbits have ever seen. Information technology is a truthful masterpiece.
First published by Allen & Unwin in 1937. History Professor, JRR Tolkien'southward, The Hobbit or There and Dorsum Again by Bilbo Baggins, was written originally as a children's book.
It is that, and a whole lot more. If you lot haven't read information technology yourself. I highly recommended it.
Truly, It is a timeless archetype. Information technology's one of those rare books, you volition desire to read again and over again and you volition always observe something new.

An Unexpected Journey The Movie
The motion picture, The Hobbit is in iii parts. The first episode, titled. An Unexpected Journey, by Lord of the Rings Managing director. Peter Jackson, introduced a whole new generation to this brilliant and ballsy story.
Short review of the Movie
Jackson has done a truly masterful job, just as he did with the Lord of the Rings Movies. It is another triumph and a great treat for Tolkien fans.
It will play well to an audition new to the story. The picture works in it'southward own right and no prior noesis is required. It stands solitary on information technology's own merit. Quite a feat in itself.
It is a visual treat in cute Real 3D. The movie sticks to the original novel equally only Jackson seems able to pull off. Probably the best motion picture I accept seen this year. I recommend you see information technology for yourself.
The star cast includes. Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Flower, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Elijah Forest, Andy Serkis, Richard Armitage and of course Hobbiton in the Shire.

The book was found every bit an incomplete manuscript and has been deftly edited by his son Christopher Tolkien.
The movie looks similar information technology is going to exist very expert. I agree it is one to be seen in the theatre.

Aurelio Locsin from Orange County, CA on November xi, 2012:

Micheal (author) from U.k. on Nov 11, 2012:
Hello Penelope,
I take to concord. The book is always better.
Many Tolkien fans were very worried, when Peter Jackson made the get-go films but he stuck to the spirit of the books and managed in my opinion to pull it off.
There have been some dreadful films of this serial of books and that is just annoying for many fans.
I recall Jackson volition do a proficient job again. Fingers crossed.
Micheal (author) from United Kingdom on November 11, 2012:
Hi Vellur,
I call back the book is always better than a movie version. At least Peter Jackson is a bully fan and has done a pretty proficient task so far.
Zippo beats our own imaginations, it's true.
Penelope Hart from Rome, Italy on November 11, 2012:
Yep, it'southward a whole lot more than a children's book. Loved it back in the day and would like to read it again this winter in front of the burn. Wonder if the movie will comprise the magic; there is such a deviation between literature and movies from books - no matter how brilliant the effects.

Hi PDXBuys,
In the history of childrens books. Tolkiens work stands as a criterion for quality and invention. He really did set the bar loftier.
To call up that these were written in 1937.
Some things really are timeless.
Thanks for reading and leaving your very welcome comment.

The earlier movies have been done really well. I think the new trilogy will be merely equally skilful if non better. There are some very interesting characters in the Hobbit.
Micheal (author) from United Kingdom on November 09, 2012:
Hi Bill,
It is such a archetype. I read The Hobbit first when I was in my 20'southward and became a full Tolkien head.
I read everything I could get my hands on. He was a great writer. Thankfully we accept a good director and the picture show should exist a nail.
Wendy Gold from New York on November 09, 2012:
Excellent piece on The Hobbit. I sat down and read the Hobbit when I was 12 years old. That was plenty to become me hooked and sat down and read The Lord of the Rings (all three volumes) in one summer. They are timeless books, and impossible to forget. Cheers for getting me excited over again for the movie.
PDXBuys from Oregon on November 09, 2012:

Hello Theresa,
I can honestly say I understand your husband's obsession with these fantastic books.
I start discovered them in my 20'due south and it was in the 70'south. = Hippie : )
My buddies and I would leave notes for each other in runic. Seriously. We thought it was a corking hoot, and practise you know what. It was.
I have loved these books from the moment I picked them up.
Tolkien was a Professor of History over in Oxford University.
I call back you would appreciate the history, that he created. It is very detailed and elaborate, drawing on the Norse Sagas among other sources.
Strangely Tolkien has become a function of our collective histories.
How quant. I think he would be pleased.
I liked CS Lewis' works, simply Tolkien is in a unlike league.

Micheal (writer) from U.k. on Nov 09, 2012:
Hi aviannovice,
It'southward ever a good idea to reread a classic.
I dearest all the volume's and will be re-discovering a few more of them in the coming months.
Micheal (author) from United kingdom on November 09, 2012:
Howdy bizarrett81,
I understand you point. I too was horrified by the idea of a picture show. I had such a clear idea in my listen of how the whole thing would look. And in that location were some terrible LOTR movies made in the 1970s and 1980s where they totally messed information technology up.
Peter Jackson on the other hand is a huge fan of the books and knows how strongly people feel about these wonderful books.
He has done a great job and then far. This latest installment The Hobbit looks like it is going to exist fine.
Bilbo Baggins was so much more than lovely, before he found that accursed ring. :) Don't you think?
Theresa Ast from Atlanta, Georgia on November 09, 2012:
What a wonderful Hub Michael. :) I have never read the Hobbit. In our twenties my husband was obsessed with the Ring Trilogy, just I was smitten by C.C. Lewir and his science fantasy trilogy. I think I have read Lewis'southward trilogy 7 or eight times and will probably read it over again. Yous may have convinced me to go back and read the Hobbit. :) ~~Theresa
Micheal (author) from United Kingdom on Nov 09, 2012:
Hi Femme,
JRR was indeed a great human and he left us a wonderful legacy. He lectured over in the next shire to me, in Oxford.
The two editions used here every bit a source for his illustrations, are from 1966 and 1990.
I think y'all may exist right that but about everyone since has followed in his mighty footsteps.
The whole middle world concept is a truthful bout de force.
Deb Hirt from Stillwater, OK on Nov 09, 2012:
Oh, indeed, if this is similar The Lord of the Rings movies, it volition be incredible. I should sit down downward and read all the books. Thanks for the thought...

Hello Pecker,
I am looking forrard to this movie as well. Nosotros go it on the 28th November.
I am a big fan of Tolkien'south work. He really was a one off.
What a shame they didn't release it worldwide on the same day.
Piracy being what it is these days.
Some movies tin can only be fully appreciated on the big screen.
femmeflashpoint on November 09, 2012:
Mike,
I wanted to add a short note for you and mention something I read a few years agone. A fantasy writer (wish I could remember which one) commented during an interview, regarding his love for Tolkien as writer, that all fantasy writers who came after him, are (in a base sense) trying to proceed his work alive with their re-inventions of Middle Globe and information technology's peoples.
I rather liked that ideology, and I think the guy is probably not far off the mark.
Tolkien's real life is as honorable and equally interesting equally whatever of the characters he ever invented. I'm thrilled that his piece of work has continued to exist cultivated and cared for via his son, Christopher. It seems, with him, the apple actually didn't fall far from the tree. He is amazingly talented, and thankfully he has kept his father'southward works alive and well for generations to enjoy.

Beak Holland from Olympia, WA on November 09, 2012:

Elizabeth Barrett Kearney from Maine on Nov 09, 2012:
The Hobbit is one of my virtually favorite books of all time, so audio cliché. My father read u.s. The Hobbit and the unabridged Lord of the Rings series every night before bed from when I was about v till about 9 or 10. I and so looked forward to those story times, and I would close my eyes and see the beautiful greenish hills of the shire and the terrible blackness of the Nazgul. I had "The Hobbit" on a modest record that I played endlessly on my tiny blue record role player and read the accompanying book with the artwork that is most commonly associated with it. It was beautiful and when I heard they were making the movies, I was honestly devastated. I thought, no ane on world could ever paint the pictures I saw in my head. Just HOLY South*** pardon my french, but hats OFF to Mr. Jackson. I at present fully expect forrard to the motion picture coming out in Dec like a kid waiting for christmas.
Prissy article, btw. Makes me want to read it again before the movie comes out...
Micheal (author) from United Kingdom on November 09, 2012:
How-do-you-do Femme,
Thanks for commenting. I'm a nifty fan of Tolkien.
I have read just nigh everything he has written (twice +)
Astonishing to think that it all started with this little hobbit.
Bilbo Baggins spawned a whole globe.
I similar Peter jacksons handling of the LOTR trilogy, and hopefully he volition make this movie work also.
The hobbit has been made into a film earlier, and it was terrible.
The trailer looks pretty good
femmeflashpoint on November 09, 2012:
Mike,
An splendid read with my coffee. :) I've been having a love matter with Tolkien's piece of work since I was a kid, and oddly, The Hobbit is the least favorite of mine when it comes to his stories.
However, Peter Jackson's magical affect may open it up in a new way for me, and fly information technology to the superlative with the rest of Tolkien's work. He'due south one of the few cinema-crafters producing piece of work that I tin say I honey and exist totally sincere about it.
Corking review!!
