Episode Notes

Good morning and welcome! Speak, friend, and enter the Bag End Book Club, a celebration of Tolkien's most famous and influential works. Every two weeks we will come together having read a handful of chapters and discuss the stories of Middle-Earth, from the Hobbit to the Lord of the Rings and further on to the Silmarillion. Stop a moment and enjoy some good company and better books.

In this episode we discuss the first 9 chapters of the Hobbit! It's a great time, though we await the more meaty chapters of the Lord of the Rings proper. Our music comes from the album Double Vibes: Hobbit, by John Sangster!
