When Tolkien attempted to rewrite the Hobbit in 1960, he just gave up halfway through Chapter 3. In this episode we look at:

• 
  
• Changes in time and distance
  
• Changes in Prose and style
  
• Why he gave up
  
• His detailed notes on timeline and itinerary that outlined his changes to The Hobbit
  

In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:

• 
  
• What are the least Lord of the Rings/Middle-earth type events in The Hobbit that Tolkien would likely have changed.
