~~~Hello and welcome to the Busy Bee's Book Club Podcast!~~~

Today, we continue with Chapter 9, of The Hobbit.

The company of dwarves, and our friend Mr Baggins, have barely had a moment, before they think of pushing themselves to both: look for the lost path, and look for their missing leader. It is this, which leads them straight into the Wood-elves path; for they have been sent for by the King. Escorted none too gently, they dwarves follow along and are questioned by the King. Bilbo, meanwhile, has slipped into the shadows and is trying not to be seen. If all of his friends are captured, their only hope of escape is for Bilbo to free them, but if only he knew how... If only Gandalf were here to help! But alas, it is up to Bilbo alone to free them from their imprisonment, and take them onto the last stage of their journey. Will he be able to save them all, unaided...?
