The Hobbit (part 2 of 4) | Riddles in the Dark | Strange Lodgings | Broadcast: 1968

Broadcast: 1968 on BBC Radio, an adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 legendary children's fantasy novel.

The radio series follows the plot of the original novel (revised 1951 version) very closely, except for the addition of The Tale Bearer, a narrator whose account of the story is often interrupted and embellished by the protagonist Bilbo Baggins in the role of secondary narrator.
