With talking animals, animals serving food and dancing bears, this may just be the oddest chapter in all of Middle-earth!

Bilbo, Gandalf, and the Dwarves are dropped off on the Carrock, and find themselves in the company of a man who rather doesn't like dwarves--but who loves a good story!

Stuck in trees with fire at their heels, the company find themselves surround by intelligent wolves and taunting orcs.

Life took an unexpected turn this week with the fires in Southern California this week.

Bilbo makes it out of the Misty Mountains with more courage than ever before, while the dwarves prove their disloyalty.

This poem, Noel, was written by J.R.R. Tolkien before The Hobbit was published, and only just discovered in 2013. Heres how that happened!

We all had high hopes when War of the Rohirrim was announced a few years ago. Are those hopes realized in this anime Lord of the Rings film?

Once Tolkien finished writing The Lord of the Rings, it became clear to him that The Hobbit needed to change--particularly Bilbo and Gollum's interaction. But what exactly did he change?

The 2nd half of "Riddles in the Dark" is the most rewritten part of The Hobbit in the 1951 rewrite! And it's where Bilbo takes a giant leap (so to speak) into the future of his adventure.

"Riddles in the Dark" is not only the most memorable event from all of Middle-earth -- it's also the turning point that ultimately let to The Lord of the Rings.
