The story begins one day when the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, a resident of the Shire, receives an unexpected visit from the wizard Gandalf and a company of thirteen dwarves. Gandalf had recommended Bilbo for this mission, and the hobbit is therefore drawn into the adventure. The dwarves needed an additional member, an experienced marauder, to carry out their plan: reach Erebor, defeat the dragon Smaug, and reclaim the kingdom and its treasure.
The Hobbit was written in parts between the late 1920s and early 1930s and was originally intended solely for the amusement of Tolkien's young children, but Tolkien loaned the manuscript of the unfinished work to various people and it ended up in the hands of the publisher George. Allen and Unwin. Eager to publish it, the publishers asked Tolkien to complete the work, and The Hobbit was published in the United Kingdom in 1937.
This radio play is an eight-part drama adapted from the heroic fantasy novel by British writer JRRR Tolkien. The screenplay was written by Michael Kilgarriff and produced by John Powell.
Several editions of the series have been released, the first in 1988 on cassette and the BBC reissued this piece for broadcast and home use adding a short extract of the main melody.
The play was first broadcast in 1968 on BBC Radio 4.
