The Hobbits of Tolkien: An Illustrated Exploration of Tolkien’s Hobbits, and the Sources that Inspired his Work from Myth, Literature and History

David Day

An entire race was born when J.R.R. Tolkien scrawled on a leaf, ‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.’ From the invention of that single word (hobbit) Tolkien became the explorer and chronicler of the character, their race and their significant role in his fantastical world, Middle-earth.

Here in his latest book, Tolkien expert David Day unpicks the myriad of riddles, puns and mystical meanings in Tolkien’s works; THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
