Bookseller recommendation

“The Hobbit is about as classic fantasy as you can get. How do you add to the merit of such an amazing story? You have Andy Serkis narrate it. Andy brings new life to the story, and makes returning to Middle-Earth all the sweeter.”
— Maxwell • Paragraphs Bookstore

Bookseller recommendation

“It's perfect. Serkis is perfect, the book is perfect, together they are perfect. I do not feel remotely qualified to give a review of this, so you should probably just listen to it yourself.”
— Dani • Story Line Books

Summary

THE GREAT MODERN CLASSIC AND PRELUDE TO THE LORD OF THE RINGSDeep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature. I don’t know where he came from, nor whoor what he was. He was Gollum—as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face. He had a littleboat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake; for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold.Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and aband of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent,a large and very dangerous dragon.This brand-new unabridged recording is narrated by the acclaimed actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.
