J. R. R. Tolkein's classic, children's fantasy novel The Hobbit was published September 21, 1937, to critical and financial acclaim. His publishers were so impressed by its success they requested a sequel. Tolkein complied and wrote the Lord of the Rings trilogy, a classic tale that is enjoyed today. The Hobbit has never been out of print and has been adapted for stage, television, movies, radio and even video games. It is estimated that The Hobbit might have sold up to 100 million copies since 1937.
