Story
J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron.

Story
When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

Publisher's Summary
Tolkien's famous saga, the prelude to the Lord of the Rings, has all the ingredients of fantasy and adventure: dwarves, elves, goblins and trolls, a fearsome dragon, a great wizard, a perilous quest, and a dramatic climax. At the centre is the unsuspecting hero Bilbo Baggins, a home-loving unambitious Hobbit who is suddenly thrust into the biggest, indeed the only adventure of his life.

No one would accuse Tolkien of concise plotting
This is an excellent production, very true to the original (unlike a certain three part movie adaptation). Sound quality is a bit patchy at times; this was engineered with quiet listening rooms in mind rather than being played in a moving car or other noisy environment.

An old, but faithful, brief telling of Tolkien.
This is a BBC radio production of a number of decades ago, but it is one of which Tolkien would have approved. A major condensation of the original, it still conveys the essence of Tolkien's story. The acting is different to that we have become accustomed to from the films, but it is a style that sits well on the story. To those who only know "The Hobbit" from the multi-part film, this is very different. The motion picture epic has little in common with the original book. Hear this to find something much closer to the author's intentions.

BBC Radio Reading of The Hobbit
As much as I love the story of the hobbit, these three reading the book is hard to listen too. As an adult. It is definitely suited for humans under the age of ten. I didn't pay for these I used free credits to purchase them but I still kind of want my credit back.

Timeless
This audiobook - this exact one, from 1968 - has an incredibly special place in my heart. I used to listen to this radio dramatization when I was a child, back when cassettes were a reality, despite having been produced 8 years before my birth. Much of the humour and drama found within helped to inform my sense of wonder in fantasy works. An 'unreliable narrator' tale in which Bilbo the Hobbit is likely more heroic than he might otherwise be presented, it is a very enjoyable and still very relatable romp through ancient wilds, Goblin-dens, Elven halls and Dwarven caverns.

Dramatisation made it impossible to understand
Tried to listen to this book with my 9 yo daughter when we went on a driving holiday. The dramatisation made it impossible for both of us to understand the story. Should have purchased the normal version....oh well, easy come, easy go.
