Hobbits are quaint creatures, who love to live simple lives in the countryside, eating good food, smoking pipe-weed and throwing grand birthday parties so that they can give out all of the old gifts they have stored up in their hobbit-holes. This all changes for Bilbo Baggins when Gandalf the Grey wizard invited an unruly band of dwarves into his home and whisks him away in the early hours of the morning to go off on an adventure across Middle Earth to reclaim Erebor, the kingdom under the Lonely Mountain.
