Hardcover
English language
Published July 10, 2012 by HarperCollins Publishers.
In foramine terrae habitabat hobbitus. (‘In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.')
The Hobbit, is one of the world's most popular classic stories, appealing to adults as much as to the children for whom J.R.R. Tolkien first wrote the book. Translated worldwide into more than 60 modern languages, now Hobbitus Ille is finally published in Latin, and will be of interest to all those who are studying the language, whether at school or at a higher level.
In the great tradition of publishing famous children's books in Latin, professional classicist and lifelong Tolkien fan Mark Walker provides a deft translation of the entire book. His attention to detail, including the transforming Tolkien's songs into a variety of classical and rhythmic Latin metres, will fascinate and entertain all Latinists, who are rarely given such an opportunity to read Latin simply for the pleasure of reading. —front …

The timeless classic of the fantasy genre
5 stars
The Hobbit is the first of Tolkien's stories set in the Middle Earth... Actually this book needs no introduction as majority of people are probably aware of its existance and know how Tolkien pioneered the modern fantasy genre. However, it still holds strongly to this day. This epic story of a hobbit embarking on an unexpected journey with a team of dwarves and a wizard just really hooks you in and the world around is built with passion and full of surprises. I love it and now I understand why it's so praised by many.

Spellbinding To The Last!
5 stars
The book is well written and has a unique story, that no other book (even in the same genre) has. The story is an easily imaginable one, that whilst reading and afterwards I could picture exactly what happened in my mind.
Amazing book :)

Loved it years ago
5 stars
I read it years ago (70's) and I spent many of hours reading the trilogy in high school when I should have been doing other things. I do not regret it though.

Immersive adventures in the childhood
5 stars
When I was a kid, it was hard to read, but interesting at the same time. I think, it's a good book to help children learn that patience reaps rewards. Of a cool story in this particular case.
