Hobbits and wizards and Sauron--oh, my! Mild-mannered Oxford scholar John Ronald Reuel Tolkien had little inkling when he published The Hobbit; Or, There and Back Again in 1937 that, once hobbits were unleashed upon the world, there would be no turning back.

Hobbits are, of course, small, furry creatures who love nothing better than a leisurely life quite free from adventure. But in that first novel and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the hobbits Bilbo and Frodo and their elfish friends get swept up into a mighty conflict with the dragon Smaug, the dark lord Sauron, the monstrous Gollum, the Cracks of Doom, and the awful power of the magical Ring.

The four books' characters--good and evil--are recognizably human, and the realism is deepened by the magnificent detail of the vast parallel world Tolkien devised, inspired partly by his influential Anglo-Saxon scholarship and his Christian beliefs.  

You couldn't go wrong with this selection. Throughout the series Tolkien explores the adventures of the Hobbit, a species small in stature, yet overflowing with courage, love of food, and a good time. Along the way Tolkien chronicles the adventures of the hobbits as well as the saga of a dangerous and all powerful sorcerer in his quest to reclaim the one ring which would solidify his malevolent powers. With an upcoming theatrical rendition set to release this summer, reading up on this classic is a must.
