Best Answer

The Hobbit is set about 60 years before most of the events in The Lord of the Rings.
The Hobbit was published in 1937. The Lord of the Rings did not come out for over 20 years after that. It took Tolkien a long time to write the follow up.

The Hobbit would come first because it is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings series. Hope this helps.
