The History of the Hobbit

In one volume for the first time, this revised and updated examination of how J. R. R. Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece The Hobbit includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself.

The Hobbit was first published on September 21,1937. Like its sequel, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that "grew in the telling," and many characters and plot threads in the published text are quite different from the story J. R. R.

Tolkien first wrote to read aloud to his young sons as one of their "fireside reads."

Together in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete text of the unpublished manuscript of The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliffs lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. Recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, he examineschapter by chapterwhy those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkiens ever-growing concept of Middle-earth.

As well as reproducing the original version of one of the worlds most popular novelsboth on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Ringsthis book includes many little-known illustrations and draft maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself. Also featured are extensive commentaries on the dates of composition, how Tolkiens professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings.

Endorsed by Christopher Tolkien as a companion to his essential 12-volume The History of Middle-earth, this thoughtful and exhaustive examination of one of the most treasured stories in English literature offers fascinating new insights for those who have grown up with this enchanting tale, and will delight any who are about to enter Bilbos round door for the first time.
