    The answer: The Hobbit

    Book · 1937 · J. R. R. Tolkien

    Tolkien wrote it for his own children, and it reads like a story told aloud: funny, cosy and then suddenly frightening. It is shorter and lighter than The Lord of the Rings, which makes it a good first step into Middle-earth for readers of any age. The riddle game with Gollum is still one of fantasy's great scenes.
