Description

Small Concept for the beginning of the adventure for Mr. Bilbo Baggins, before he became the most famous adventurer of the Shire!

So here i did a different take of the shire, more in a mountain rather that in soft meadows.

Boring story of how i discovered Tolkien's Books:

I have a special love for The Hobbit, i even think is my favourite of Tolkiens.

I read it when i was 13-15? (don't remember). I've already tried to read LOTR when i was 10 yo buuuuut it was to heavy i think i just got til the point where the hobbits left the shire.

Anyway, years passed and i discovered that there was a book of one of the characters on lotr! Bilbo Bagings!!! (or how i knew him, Bilbo Bolson). So this book was way easier to read and it started like a classic adventure! The result, I just loved it. I did ended up devouring the rest of the trilogy years later (but that's another story ).

So the Hobbit book (which had Smaug in the cover) disappeared sometime before, i never got to recall if i lost it (which i seriously doubt since im a maniac of my belonging, specially my books, and haven't lost any of them except maybe that one, or if i lend it to some friend (which is more likely, ps. to that friend: I WILL FIND YOU!!! >), but as i say, i really don't remember what happened there.

A couple years ago i found a pretty English version of "The Hobbit" (mine was in spanish) with a different cover i've never seen, in a second hand sale so I bought it.

In case someone is interested the artcover of the book was this one www.tolkienlibrary.com/tolkien… (artist Ted Nasmith)
