Book ID/图书代码： 06545012B53628

English Summary/英文概要： For generations of entranced readers, and now a new generation of filmgoers, Tolkien is synonymous with his most famous creation - the hobbit. Written for all those who are interested in Tolkien’s work, and of course for all those interested in hobbits, this is the first book to focus on the changes made to the hobbits’ characters not only by Tolkien but also by other artists - actors, writers, directors, lyricists and choreographers. The beloved characters of Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin have been much-adapted for radio, television, film and stage. Lynette Porter follows the hobbits through these many other lives, from Tolkien’s on-page revisions and John Boorman’s unmade screenplays, through to Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film trilogy and its musical counterpart. She also reviews over 50 years of ’Hobbit Art’, including the work of Alan Lee, John Howe and Ted Nasmith. Journeying through fanzines, videogames, Fanfiction and more, Porter demonstrates how the hobbits, their characters and their stories continue to introduce new audiences to Tolkien’s work, in new and adapted forms.
