only thing on it was the sentence “In a hole in the ground‚ there lived a hobbit.” Of course‚ Tolkien took it upon himself to create an entire story around this “hobbit.” He felt as though he had to find out what exactly it was and ended up creating a world-famous series complete with maps and languages completely made up from the mind of the man himself. Finally‚ in 1937‚ the book was published under a simple title: The Hobbit. This book was a major success‚ and is recognized globally to this day (Doughan)

Throughout the journey‚ he becomes
