“No sir; it is evidently a gigantic narwhal”

In this thrilling adventure tale by the 'Father of Science Fiction', three men embark on an epic journey under the sea with the mysterious Captain Nemo aboard his submarine the Nautilus. Over the course of their fantastical voyage, they encounter the lost city of Atlantis, the South Pole and the corals of the Red Sea, and must battle countless adversaries both human and monstrous. Verne's triumphant work of the imagination shows the limitless possibilities of science and the dark depths of the human mind.

This new version by award-winning translator David Coward brings Verne's novel vividly to life for a new generation of readers.

'May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.'

Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services - as a burglar - on a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo's life is never to be the same again.

The Hobbit became an instant success when it was first published in 1937, and 75 years later Tolkien's epic tale of elves, dwarves, trolls, goblins, myth, magic and adventure, with its reluctant hero Bilbo Baggins, has lost none of its appeal.

Now, for the first time, the classic hardback edition is available in a one-off special pocket-sized edition. Featuring the distinctive cover illustration painted by Tolkien himself, plus his own drawings in the book, this edition will be the perfect gift for little Hobbits everywhere!

Why Novel North recommends

'Brimming with exciting adventure, Tolkien's delightfully imagined world is full of twists and turns, and larger than life characters.  The Hobbit is a favourite source of encouragement and comfort.  There's something wonderful and reassuring about climbing a hill, or walking through a forest, and imagining Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves alongside you sharing songs and stories.  A story to return to over and over.'

'There is no mystery in this association of woods and otherworlds, for as anyone who has walked the woods knows, they are places of correspondence, of call and answer... Different aspects of the forest link unexpectedly with each other, and so it is that within the stories, different times and worlds can be joined.' - Robert Macfarlane 

An ode to the world around us, the small pockets of wilderness that we sometimes forget to look out for.  A beautifully written invitation to explore and be amazed.  An exploration of connecting layers.
