The Hobbit is the story of Bilbo Baggins, a simple, respectable
little person who is content with his sleepy life in the Shire
until an old wizard and thirteen dwarves hijack him for a grand
adventure to slay a dragon and win back a lost treasure, forcing
him to grow out of his comfortable little world. Along the way he
encounters merry elves, ferocious trolls, wicked goblins, and other
fantastic characters and creatures before coming face to face with
the vile dragon himself. The Hobbit is the prelude to The Lord Of
The Rings.
Gandalf was always clad in grey, had a long, grey beard and
looked like a strange old man. But he was a wizard, for long time
around in Middle-Earth to do his works there and put things
together. He was known by Elves, Dwarves and Men and had a
friendship to a little known folk called Hobbits. Asked by the
Dwarves of Thorin & Co. for help in a dragon problem he sent
the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins with them on their journey, to involve the
Hobbits a little bit more in the wide world and to have an
advantage over the Dragon, who knew Dwarves quite well, by having
something that surprises him.
