Short Explanation
The Group is formed by Gandalf. Biblo and the thirteen dwarves set off.
Shortly after the group sets out, three hungry trolls capture all of them except for Gandalf. Gandalf tricks the trolls into remaining outside when the sun comes up, and the sunlight turns the trolls to stone. The group rests at Rivendell, then sets out to cross the Misty Mountains. When they find shelter in a cave during a snowstorm, a group of goblins who live in the caverns beneath the mountain take them prisoner. Gandalf leads the dwarves to a passage out of the mountain, but they accidentally leave behind Bilbo.
Wandering through the tunnels, Bilbo finds a strange golden ring lying on the ground. He takes the ring and puts it in his pocket. Soon he encounters Gollum. Gollum wants to eat Bilbo, and the two have a contest of riddles. Bilbo wins by asking the riddle, “What have I got in my pocket?” Gollum looks for his ring. The ring, however, is the same one Bilbo has already found, and Bilbo uses it to escape. He finds a tunnel leading up out of the mountain. Evil wolves known as Wargs pursue them, but Bilbo and his comrades are helped to safety by a group of great eagles and by Beorn. The company enters the dark forest of Mirkwood, and Gandalf. In the forest, the dwarves are caught in the webs of some giant spiders, and Bilbo must rescue them with his sword and magic ring. After slaying his first spider, Bilbo names his sword Sting. After escaping the spiders, they are captured by a group of wood elves who live near the river that runs through Mirkwood. Bilbo uses his ring to help the company escape and slips the dwarves away from the elves by hiding them inside barrels, which he then floats down the river. They arrive at Lake Town. After sneaking into the mountain Bilbo steals a golden cup from the dragon’s hoard, Smaug is furious and flies out of the mountain to burn Lake Town in his rage. Bard has learned the secret about Smaug’s weakness from a thrush, and he fires an arrow into the dragon’s heart, killing him. Before Smaug dies, however, he burns Lake Town to the ground.
The humans of Lake Town and the elves of Mirkwood go to the Mountain to seek a share of the treasure as compensation for their losses and aid, but Thorin greedily refuses, and the humans and elves besiege the mountain. Bilbo sneaks out to join the humans in an attempt to bring peace. Gandalf suddenly reappears and saves Bilbo from the dwarf lord’s wrath.
At this moment, an army of goblins and Wargs marches on the mountain, and the humans, elves, and dwarves are forced to band together to defeat them. The goblins nearly win, but the arrival of Beorn and the eagles helps the good armies win the battle.
Biblo goes home and the book ends.
There is also a movie called The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey which is the first of three parts.
