Transcription
"Review of "The Hobbit" 30 October 1936
Bilbo Baggins was a Hobbit who lived in his Hobbit hole and neverwent for adventures, at last Gandalf the wizard and his Dwarves persuaded him to go. He had a very exiting (sic) time fighting goblins and wargs. At last they get to the lonely mountain; Smaug, the dragon who guards it is killed and after a terrific battle with the goblins he returned home — rich!
This book, with the help of maps, does not need any illustrations it is good and should appeal to all children between the ages of 5 and 9.
Rayner Unwin"
