Bilbo Baggins the Hobbit was just minding his own business when Gandalf the Wizard drops in. One by one, a whole group of dwarves drop in, and before he knows it, Bilbo has joined their quest to reclaim their kingdom, taken from them by an evil dragon named Smaug.

There’s a magic in dwarves' song, and something stirs deep inside of Bilbo. For once in his life, might he be persuaded to leave the comfort of Hobbiton and see the great mountains, trees, and waterfalls that lie beyond the Shire?

The dwarves have long held great wealth, hidden in golden hordes. In verses of song, they tell their history of generations at work beneath the mountain who formed their gold, silver, and jewels into fine treasures and works of art.

The dwarves tell of the terrifying dragon, Smaug, his destruction of the human town of Dale, and how he drove them from their mountain, stealing their hoards of gold. Bilbo also learns the perilous nature of the adventure that awaits him.
