I'll take this from the blurb of the 1995 edition:

"Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Maginificent, a large and very dangerous dragon...“

Basically, this young hobbit living quite comfortably in hobbit-luxury is thrown into an adventure with a party of dwarves and a mischevious wizard (Gandalf, Mithrandir, Stormcrow-a few of the names he is called) which is filled with excitement and despair as Thorin Oakenshield struggles onwards to try and reclaim his homeland Erebor, situated in The Lonely Mountain. But, long ago, Thorin's grandfather Thror (or Thrain, can't remember) became obsessed with gold, which immediately lured the baby dragon, who was a feisty flame of fire which took over Erebor. I won't tell you anymore other l'll ruin the whole story for you (although l may have already-sorry.)

I love LOTR and The Hobbit, so if you have any other questions you would like to ask please message me on YouTube-my account name is MoonlightWalnut. I hope you enjoy reading the best Fantasy Books ever!
