5 (1 review)

This radio adaptation brings listeners into the world of Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving hobbit drawn into an adventure with the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves. Their journey leads toward the Lonely Mountain, where the dragon Smaug guards a vast treasure.

Adapted from J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy novel, the story unfolds as a dramatic audio performance, using voices, narration, and sound to carry the company through strange lands and dangerous encounters. This installment is part of a six-part presentation of Bilbo’s journey.

The experience balances the warmth and humor of Bilbo’s ordinary habits with the suspense of a quest filled with riddles, peril, and wonder. It offers an inviting way to follow a classic adventure through spoken performance and radio storytelling.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
