This is JRR Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’. This reading of the book by Nicol Williamson is an abridged version, meaning of course that it is not the entire book word for word Hobbits are a fictional diminutive race who inhabit the lands of Middle-earth in JRR Tolkien’s fiction. Hobbits first appeared in the novel The Hobbit, in which the main protagonist, Bilbo Baggins, is the titular hobbit. The novel The Lord of the Rings includes more Hobbits as major characters, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck, as well as several other minor hobbit characters. Hobbits are also briefly mentioned in The Silmarillion. According to the author in the prologue to The Lord of the Rings, Hobbits are “relatives” of the race of Men. Elsewhere Tolkien describes Hobbits as a “variety” or separate “branch” of humans. Within the story, Hobbits and other races seem aware of the similarities (hence the colloquial terms “Big People” and “Little People” used in Bree). However, within the story, Hobbits considered themselves a separate race. At the time of the events in The Lord of the Rings, Hobbits lived in the Shire and in Bree in the north west of Middle-earth, though by the end, some had moved out to the Tower Hills and to Gondor and Rohan.

Grendel Unabridged. Author – Gardner, John Narrator -Guidall, George. Publication: Prince Frederick, MD Recorded Books, 1997. Subject: Beowulf–Adaptations. Audiobooks. Monsters–Fiction; Fantasy Duration: 5 Hours 30 Minutes Product ID: 126221 EISBN: 9781417572649 ISBN: 9781402551109 Grendel (1971) A novel by John Gardner Awards Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature (nominee) From the Publisher World renowned critic John Gardner has received prestigious awards for his wide range of literary achievements including short stories, novels, and essays. When he turns his talents to retelling Beowulf, the earliest epic in British literature, the result is a work that combines extensive knowledge with a marvelous strain of pure fun. In Gardnerís version of the epic, instead of lauding the helmeted hero, Beowulf, the spotlight shines on Grendel, a beast whose grotesque body and blood thirst condemn him to the life of an outlaw. Grendel is a horrible monster. He greedily gobbles up warriors in the Danish mead hall guarded by Beowulf. But within Grendel lurks a soul that delights in dark humor, dramatic pirouettes and pranks. Both young adult and adult listeners will revel in this powerful complement to a classic tale. George Guidallís narration captures a surreal landscape that shimmers on the other side of the original epicís heroic mirror. What we see is that thereís a little bit of Grendel living is each of us. Also available: Beowulf (RB# 90053)

Though this was the theme for the german audiobook, the intro got recorded in english, primarly because it could be used for the third season of DuckTales whose got cancelled. Still though, this version of the opening theme was used as the intro for DuckTales in some other countries, one of them in Norway’s version, where I’m from. NOTE: This is not the original instrumental. It’s a composition made from several parts I found on the internet and from the original soundtrack itself, thus it may appear differences between the transitions. If you do notice, too bad for you =P! To make this song more naturally to hear, I had to lower the bit rate, which resulted into a low quality song with a bit rate of approximately 10000 Hz, the half of today’s music. Still, I hope you enjoy it =D!
