ΧΟΜΠΙΤ
Ο Μπίλμπο Μπάγκινς είναι ένα χόμπιτ που απολαμβάνει μια άνετη, χωρίς ιδιαίτερες φιλοδοξίες ζωή. Σπάνια απομακρύνεται από την αποθήκη ή το κελάρι του. Η ηρεμία του διακόπτεται όταν μια μέρα στο κατώφλι του σπιτιού του εμφανίζεται ο μάγος Γκάνταλφ και μια παρέα νάνων για να τον παρασύρουν σε μια περιπέτεια. Το σχέδιό τους είναι να αρπάξουν το θησαυρό που φυλάει ένας τεράστιος, πολύ επικίνδυνος Δράκος. Ο Μπίλμπο στην αρχή δεν είναι πρόθυμος να πάρει μέρος στην αναζήτηση του θησαυρού.

Ο ΓΕΩΡΓΟΣ Ο ΓΙΛΗΣ ΑΠ' ΤΟ ΧΑΜ
Από την ιστορία του Μικρού Βασιλείου λιγοστά αποσπάσματα υπάρχουν πια. Σώθηκε όμως, εντελώς τυχαία, μια διήγηση που φωτίζει την προέλευση του -ή μάλλον όχι διήγηση, ένας θρύλος ας πούμε καλύτερα, γιατί είναι προφανές ότι πρόκειται για μεταγενέστερο συμπίλημα, γεμάτο υπερφυσικά γεγονότα που δεν προέρχονται από τα νηφάλια Χρονικά, αλλά από τα δημοτικά τραγούδια στα οποία παραπέμπει συχνότατα ο ανώνυμος συγγραφέας.
