“May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.”
Happy birthday to The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien! Here are several articles commemorating the day:
The Hobbit at 80: Much More than a Childish Prequel to The Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit Is Turning 80. Here’s What Reviewers Said About It in 1937.
I’m also really fond of this article from the Oxford Dictionaries blog about the origins of the word “hobbit.”
If you are interested in (re)reading The Hobbit, we have several copies in our circulating collection.
Here are some images from a lovely book called Art of the Hobbit.
