{"product_id":"book-jxcn","title":"The Hobbit","description":"Dwarves, elves, goblins, trolls, dragons and wizards - these are the ingredients of J.R.R. Tolkien's wonderful fantasy, the prelude to \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of The Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, now the subject of a major feature film series.   The hero of the tale is Bilbo Baggins, a home-loving unambitious hobbit who is suddenly thrust into what turns out to be the biggest adventure of his life. Guided by Gandalf the wizard, Bilbo and a company of dwarves set out to destroy Smaug the Magnificent, a ferocious dragon who guards a treasure hoard. Their journey contains many dangers, and in facing them the reluctant Bilbo's great resourcefulness and courage surprises everyone - not least himself!   Since it was first broadcast in 1968, this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation has become a classic in its own right, perfectly evoking Tolkien's magical other world and its enchanting, fantastic inhabitants.","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49394063474992,"sku":"BDjxcn","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/jxcn-cover.jpg?v=1762373581","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-jxcn","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
