The Origins of The Hobbit | JRR Tolkien | Archives | 222
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit."
Tolkien’s simple opening line to his book The Hobbit wasn’t merely the first sentence to a children’s story of adventure, bravery, and dragons: this sentence is the first step in our own adventure of wandering Middle-earth. That unassuming yet provocative line opens us to a much wider world, to the epic struggle of good vs evil, of light overcoming the Shadow.
Today we’ll examine the origins of Tolkien’s first published work of fiction, The Hobbit.
