The Hobbit TM
or There and Back Again, after J.R.R. Tolkien, from 8 years up
“Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere the break of day
To seek our pale enchanted gold.“
Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit in his best years, is not a friend of excitement. If only he knew what Gandalf was up to, when he he visited unexpectedly. Who knows? Perhaps Bilbo would never have opened the door of his snug Hobbit Hole to the Wizard. Bilbo would never have become a burglar on a journey through danger and darkness, where Trolls, Goblins and Giant Spiders awaited him. He would never have met the wretched Gollum or Smaug the Dragon. And we would never have learned what courage he was capable of and what it was like to become a hero, and to be held in high esteem by Dwarves, Elves and Men; and to be a good friend to a Wizard.
Gandalf, by the way, had known it from the start: “There’s a lot more in you, Mr. Baggins, than you guess.“
“If there was a counterpart to the fantasy film, it should look like this.” (Bonner Rundschau).
For everyone from 8 years
based on J.R.R. Tolkien.
