Publisher Description
THE GREAT MODERN CLASSIC AND PRELUDE TO THE LORD OF THE RINGS
Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature. I don’t know where he came from, nor who
or what he was. He was Gollum—as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face. He had a little
boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake; for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold.
Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a
band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent,
a large and very dangerous dragon.
This brand-new unabridged recording is narrated by the acclaimed actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.

Perfect
Andy Serkis provides a brilliant and captivating narration of an absolute classic. His voices for characters are unique and wonderful and he, of course, includes his staple and trademark Gollum voice making the iconic character’s introduction that much more impactful. I cannot wait to listen to Andy narrate the LOTR books.
Tolkien approved
Andy Serkis does a fantastic job!!!! I can’t wait to listen through the Lord of the Rings!
Wonderful story and told very engagingly
As soon as I knew Andy Serkis was narrating, I knew this would be good. He told it so well and with varying voices for each character. I struggle to stay hooked when reading so I popped in and out from physical book reading and listening which made it more enjoyable. Highly recommend this rendition!
