Product Description

A Map for Life’s Unexpected Journey For generations, The Hobbit has been loved and shared by readers who thrilled to the challenges faced by Bilbo Baggins and a band of stout-hearted dwarves on a dangerous quest. Now Devin Brown teases out the themes woven into Tolkien’s timeless story, revealing life lessons about loyalty, selflessness, friendship, and dedication—lessons as precious as a golden ring. Discover these (and more) valuable truths from Bilbo’s journey—without the danger of being eaten by a dragon: • When Adventure Comes Knocking, Let It In (Even if It Makes You Late for Dinner) • Have Your Friends’ Back (Someone Has Yours) • Be Fond of Waistcoats, Pocket Handkerchiefs, and Even Arkenstones (Just Don’t Let Them Become Too Precious) "Devin Brown makes the labyrinthine world of Tolkien's Middle-earth easily accessible. He shows how a love of reading about dwarves, elves, wizards, and hobbits is also good for you." -- Charlie W. Starr, author, Light: C. S. Lewis's First and Final Short Story "Devin Brown has established himself as a leading scholar in both Tolkien studies and Lewis studies, combining thorough research and fresh insight with sprightly, readable prose." -- David C. Downing, author, Looking for the King: An Inklings Novel "Hobbitish charm and wizardly wisdom." -- Philip Tallon, author of The Poetics of Evil "Devin Brown’s uncanny knack for unpacking big ideas is incredibly engaging. He presents important themes in such a way that readers immediately realize they are learning something significant." -- Greg Bandy, filmmaker, director of C. S. Lewis: Why He Matters Today
