The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: The Clouds Burst

The Hobbit, Chapter-By-Chapter: Queer Lodgings

The Hobbit, Chapter By Chapter: Riddles In The Dark
This may be the best-known chapter in Tolkien’s entire works, and is certainly one of the most highly regarded. Within the pages of the spookily titled “Riddles In The Dark”, Tolkien presents an incredibly vivid and remarkable episodic adventure, and … Continue reading
