Sarah's December Staff Pick


The Annotated Hobbit
by J.R.R. Tolkien
CWMAIN PR 6039 O32 H6 1988

“A box without hinges, key or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.”

-Eggs

The quote above reminds me of the book, even though it comes from it, especially the second line, when it says “Golden treasure inside is hid.”The Hobbit is like that. What is interesting is that most people know the story about the Hobbit. Who doesn’t want to go on an adventure, but is bullied into it and ends up loving it very much. They know this but don’t know where he got the information behind it, like when the dwarves and Bilbo see the white deer when they are getting close to the elves.
