A hobbit-hole, also called smial, is a from of housing used by the hobbits in J.R.R. Tolkien's fiction. It is basically an underground house built in hills, consisting of a long hallway with the rooms branching off to both sides; usually the hallway runs parallel to the shape of the hill so that the rooms on one side of the hallway can have windows. Further characteristics of hobbit architecture are perfectly round doors and windows, tube shaped halls, and building even-floored (meaning no housings with multiple floors/stories). Most hobbits do not live in hobbit-holes but in "normal" houses, which have the same architectural characteristics as the hobbit-holes mentioned above.
That will depend on what version you have. I have a paperback copy here with 330 pages in it. I have a hardback copy with 276 pages to the story, followed by the first chapter of The Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit, written by J.R. Tolkien has 320 pages in the paperback edition and 297 pages in the hard cover edition.
Hobbits first appeared in the J. R. R. Tolkien novel, The Hobbit, in which the main protagonist, Bilbo Baggins, is a hobbit. The main protagonist of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo Baggins, is a hobbit, as are his friends and co-protagonists

Remember in the first chapter when it was said that all the hobbits were peaceful folks that never went off on adventures? They thought that wild and crazy people were rather odd and that they didn't amount to much. Like Bullroarer Took! He could ride a horse so he wasn't a very "solid citizen." Bilbo went off on an adventure outside the Shire...with dwarves! Oh my! And a wizard! In the Shire, that was scandalous. Also, he was gone a whole year, so his reputation as a citizen was absolutely shot. The hobbits of the Shire talked about him as if he were crazy to leave the Shire like that.
Hobbits are smaller, tend to be curly-haired, dress 'chiefly in green and yellow', have hairy feet with thick soles, and live in hobbit-holes. Dwarves are slightly bigger, usually bearded, and live in mountains. Dwarves are miners and stone-workers and they like gold. Hobbits like eating and smoking pipeleaf. Dwarves are also much more war-like than hobbits - dwarves craft weapons and armour while hobbits don't involve themselves in war. Hobbits are also much stealthier that dwarves and can move about quite quietly and avoid detection.
'The Hobbit' of course!
