The Hobbit (The Mind’s Eye adaptation)

Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit, is a peaceful sort who lives in a cozy hole in the Shire, a place where adventures are uncommon—and rather unwanted. So when the wizard Gandalf whisks him away on a treasure-hunting expedition with a troop of rowdy dwarves, he’s not entirely thrilled. J. R. R. Tolkien’s timeless and beloved tale, The Hobbit, is presented here in a stunning dramatization that resounds with all the excitement of a theater performance—and all the charm of a vintage radio show. Brilliantly conceived to evoke Tolkien’s richly imagined Middle Earth, this newly remastered CD collection features an original score written for Renaissance-era instruments, outstanding ensemble acting and innovative sound techniques designed to present a hobbit’s-eye view of Bilbo’s adventures. A fitting tribute, more than a half century after the first publication of the book, this elegant collector’s CD presentation of The Hobbit will captivate longtime fans and the newly initiated alike.
