The Hobbit
J. R. R. Tolkien
Save to Your Books
The journey through Middle-earth begins here with J.R.R. Tolkien's classic prelude to his Lord of the Rings trilogy.
“A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible... All those, young or old, who love a fine adventurous tale, beautifully told, will take The Hobbit to their hearts.”—The New York Times Book Review
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." So begins one of the most beloved and delightful tales in the English language—Tolkien's prelude to The Lord of the Rings. Set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth, at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale, The Hobbit is one of literature's most enduring and well-loved novels.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.

[Hello Cozy Family!!\ \ Back in 2023, I posted what turned out to be a rather controversial list of books that I thought should be studied on the school curriculum to help inspire and create readers from an earlier age. Here’s my updated list of recommendations. \ \ I will post a deep dive into each age group and the books I’ve chosen in separate posts (to come soon). I have used the English (UK) classification of school groups, as that is what I am familiar with, and then added the age ranges in brackets so everyone, wherever you may be based in the world, will be able to understand and apply to your own school age group classification systems. \ \ So without further ado, here is a list of what I think should be on schools' English Literature curriculums:\ \ Primary School (8 - 10 years old)\ \
- Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan\ \
- A Kind of Spark by Elle McNicoll\ \
- Best Friends Forever by Lisa Williamson\ \ \ I would also recommend a graphic novel at this age too, though I am still searching for what I think my ultimate recommendation for one would be. So stay tuned for that update, hopefully soon. Please share any recs you may have!!\ \ Lower Secondary School (11 - 13 years old)\ \
- Narnia (The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe) by C S Lewis\ \
- The Hobbit by J R R Tolkien\ \
- A Good Girls Guide To Murder by Holly Jackson\ \
- A Language of Dragons by S F Williamson\ \ \ Upper Secondary School (14 - 15 years old)\ \
- The Grace Year by Kim Liggett\ \
- Piranesi by Susanna Clarke\ \
- Herc by Phoenica Rogerson\ \
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte\ \ \ A-Level / College (16 - 18 years old)\ \
- Morgan Is My Name by Sophie Keetch\ \
- The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake\ \
- The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E Harrow\ \
- Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb\ \ \ Until next time, \ \ Charlotte xx](https://charlottescozycorner.binderybooks.com/item/u5fdA87YTq2B3UlNmXZ2/)

EARLY BIRD VIEWING - Let's Play Tales of the Shire!
It's our first day in the Shire together! Surely we won't get too distracted with all the adorable animals we can pet! Surely we won't get conned into searching out a book that might not actually exist. Surely we won't get propositioned in a field!!
I'm so excited to finally be playing this game, which has been very divisive amongst players. As a huge Lord of the Rings/Hobbit fan, this one has been calling to me since release. So join me on our Hobbit-filled adventures and let's see how it is!
Thank you so much for watching. Make sure to let me know what you think of the video AND the game AND what you'd like to see me play next!
