Hobbit Study Guide on CDROM

Bilbo Baggins is a respectable hobbit - one of a race of small, quiet, country folk. One day he receives an unexpected visit from the great wizard Gandalf and thirteen dwarves. On Gandalf's recommendation, they wish to enlist Bilbo as their burglar. He is drawn into the quest and soon faces giant spiders, goblins, and worse as he travels the great distance to the Lonely Mountain, where the dwarves' treasure awaits-as does the dragon and war!
