Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

There can be few people who have not experienced the luxurious, dark and fantastical The Hobbit, and this highly acclaimed BBC Radio 4 adaptation of the classic book, first broadcast in 1968, will certainly please appreciative Tolkien fans and may well tempt reluctant readers towards the original books.

As the hero of the tale, Bilbo Baggins, is thrust into the biggest adventure of his life he is guided by Gandalf the Wizard and a company of dwarves on their mission to destroy Smaug the Magnificent. This tremendous journey is brought vividly to life in this superb adaptation, evoking as it does every ounce of Tolkien's true magic with its rich interpretation of the characters who inhabit the magical other-world that has captured the imaginations of readers of all ages for generations. --Susan Harrison



Product Description

Guided by Gandalf the wizard, Bilbo Baggins and a company of dwarves plan to destroy Smaug the Magnificent, a ferocious dragon who guards a treasure hoard. They face many dangers on their journey, and the reluctant Bilbo's great resourcefulness and courage surprises everyone, not least himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Listening for all the family, 26 April 2000
By A Customer
This excellent BBC Radio Four dramatisation keep our whole family mesmerised from Clais to the Spanish Boarder. It really is a fabulous production. We had listened to a single voice reader before, I think it was Lovejoy, no comparison with the full drama of this one, just wait until you hear the actor who is Gollum. We have bought the BBC Lord of the Rings now ready for our next holiday.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed., 9 Jun 2009
By L. Hurley (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We bought this to entertain us on a long trip to Wales, but it failed. The whole production sounded very dated and it was difficult to hear all of the dialogue and was therfore difficult to follow if, like our children, you have not read the book. A lot of the voices were very similar and Gandalf's voice sounded like he was a sinister snake!!! Don't get me started on the music!!! Love the book would not recommend this audio tape.
