This book was inspired by a visit to Hobbiton, The Movie Set in New Zealand, and offered with pictures and concepts that introduce children to the idea of hobbits, prepare them for their own new adventures, and perhaps encourage them to read the books by J.R.R. Tolkien and see the movies when age appropriate—but children are never too young to visit the Shire in New Zealand! This author highly recommends it for families and solo travelers. All photos in this book were taken by the author during a guided tour of Hobbiton on 26 December 2024.
