The Hobbit Project
J.R.R. Tolkien
Summary
Characters
Bilbo Baggins is a homely hobbit who lives in The Hill across The River. He was a well respected hobbit, that is until he participated in Gandalf's adventure. He turned into a couragious, trust-worthy, bold, and brave hobbit, who had a little of his relatives, the Took's, adventurous behavior in him.
Gandalf
Gandalf is a very well-known and friendly wizard, who was arranging an adventure and was trying to find a burgler to take part in it. That's when he convinced Bilbo to come along. Gandalf is very, very clever, powerful, and wise. He always seems to show up on the spot when he is needed the most.
