《魔戒前傳—哈比人歷險記》出版於1937年，為魔戒三部曲的前傳。
作者托爾金以融合童話與傳奇小說的手法描述，呈現出豐富的想像力、華麗而詭譎的壯麗場景。
主角比爾博被巫師甘道夫挑上，激發出他冒險的慾望，與十三個矮人組成探險隊，前往有一條惡龍守護的孤山，展開了尋寶之旅。
途中雖然經歷了各種危險，但也結識了許多不同種族的友人，比爾博更因緣際會地得到了一枚魔戒（在此書中尚未解開它是至尊魔戒，卻是延伸出後來魔戒三部曲的關鍵）。
探險隊最後斬殺惡龍，矮人們佔據了寶山，並與人類為了寶藏開戰。
但在比爾博和甘道夫的斡旋協調，以及魔族的來襲下，人類與矮人聯盟擊潰了魔族聯軍，勝利的一方分得了財寶，比爾博回到哈比屯後，成了一夜致富的傳奇人物，直到《魔戒》三部曲又展開了另一個傳奇故事……
這是二十世紀以來最值得一看的奇幻小說，它的角色眾多而分明、情節豐富變化，不只深受少年兒童的喜愛，更吸引了無數的成人讀者，是一本老少咸宜的作品，也可視為進入魔戒三部曲的入門書。

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkeness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
I struggled with rating this because I don't think this is a graphic novel. It's an art book with Tolkien's words placed over them. It's beautiful, and a good story because The Hobbit is fantastic. But I couldn't help thinking that I would have enjoyed an actual adaptation of the novel rather than what this was. I would have really enjoyed seeing the artist showing us the story, and not just illustrating scenes and telling us what's happening.It almost seemed like a waste of time, to be honest, to read these huge paragraphs placed over illustrations. Near the end I just skipped them altogether, since I already know the story very well, and just flipped through looking at the art. I enjoyed it better that way.
Hmm not a Big fan.its drawn out and torturing. but at the same time you have to read it, beacuse you want to know what happens.(i read this back before the movie). but if you have seen the movie and then read the book, you will find Gaps, and lots of them.
