The Hobbit – 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.
This absolute classic had to be top of my list.
I loved this story growing up and I remember my mum always suggesting it when Id ask her what book I should read. In fact I still own her original copy, one of my dearest items. I’m not massively sentimental about things, but there are some books that just mean so much. The hobbit sparked my love of adventure stories and fantasy!
The colours are inspired by the classic cover I remember as a child. Gorgeous soft muted tones of browns with hints of warm yellows and patches of sky grey blue. This earthy autumnal colourway is just stunning!! I love how beautifully it works with the first colourway of the advent, if you aren’t making the CAL then this would be a stunning set for socks!
Scroll all the way down for the day 2 pattern spoiler!
Any guesses what story will be joining the hobbit on our shelf tomorrow?!
