Bookroo's summary

Bilbo Baggins, a quiet hobbit, is thrust into an epic quest with dwarves to reclaim their stolen gold from the dragon Smaug. Guided by Gandalf, they face trolls, goblins, and more. As Bilbo ventures through Rivendell and Mirkwood, he uncovers hidden courage and a love for adventure. His destiny awaits in the Misty Mountains, where a mysterious ring and a creature named Gollum hold secrets that could change everything. Will Bilbo rise to the challenge, or will the darkness consume him?

From the publisher

An illustrated edition of the enchanting prequel to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit–the classic fantasy that inspired Peter Jackson’s major motion picture trilogy–in a newly expanded edition. When Thorin Oakenshield and his band of dwarves embark upon a dangerous quest to reclaim the hoard of gold stolen from them by the evil dragon Smaug, Gandalf the wizard suggests an unlikely accomplice: Bilbo Baggins, an unassuming Hobbit dwelling in peaceful Hobbiton. Along the way, the company faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and worse. But as they journey from the wonders of Rivendell to the terrors of Mirkwood and beyond, Bilbo will find that there is more to him than anyone–himself included–ever dreamed. Unexpected qualities of courage and cunning, and a love of adventure, propel Bilbo toward his great destiny . . . a destiny that waits in the dark caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, where a twisted creature known as Gollum jealously guards a precious magic ring.
