Description

The first new illustrated edition of The Hobbit for more than 15 years contains 150 brand new colour illustrations.

His contentment is disturbed one day when the wizard, Gandalf, and the dwarves arrive to take him away on an adventure. Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance.
