When it comes to J.R.R. Tolkien’s writing style, it all comes down to the details. We see throughout the Hobbit the importance of miniscule details to the story, like when explaining Bilbo Baggin’s house and routine.

There are, indeed, no words of J. R. R. Tolkien here that have not already appeared in The Silmarillion or The History of Middle-earth, and there are many which have been left out. As Christopher points out in the preface, this particular tale changed dramatically over the years, becoming more and…

The Hobbit’s Journey The Hobbit: it happens to occur as simply another story said in the same exact way as every other story. The Hero’s Journey.
