Bilbo Baggins is a wealthy hobbit who hires Gandalf Travel to take him on a grand tour of Middle Earth.

But Gandalf plays a little bait-and-switch. Our hero discovers that it will not be Gandalf leading the tour, but a cadre of venal and hygienically challenged dwarves. Even worse, he is expected to do most of the work. Bilbo discovers hidden reserves of talent, bravery and pluck.

Everything goes well until Bilbo inadvertently starts a race war.
