If you’ve seen or read Tolkien’s The Hobbit, then you know that Gandalf convinced Thorin and the dwarves to take Bilbo Baggins, a simple hobbit from the Shire. But you may not know why Gandalf chose Bilbo in the first place, or how Gandalf and Thorin met, or how Gandalf received the map and key that he could pass along to Thorin, and still yet how unlikely the whole story is and how the tale is tangled up in the larger fight against Sauron. Today we explore the tale called “The Quest for Erebor” from JRR Tolkien’s Unfinished Tales. Explore the Appendix to the Lord of the Rings, and all the works of JRR Tolkien, from the Silmarillion and the Hobbit and beyond, including Rings of Power.
