The Hobbit – Chapter XVI – A Thief In The Night

Gene Glotzer May 18, 2017 0 Comments

The Hobbit – Chapter VII – Queer Lodgings

Gene Glotzer March 12, 2017 0 Comments

The title of this chapter betrays the age of The Hobbit (First published in 1937).  People just don't use the word queer in this way anymore.  I suppose if it…

The Hobbit – Chapter VI – Out Of The Frying-Pan Into The Fire

Gene Glotzer March 9, 2017 0 Comments
