Epic Win: The Hobbit

Jul. 3, 2009

once upon a win

The Hobbit was what started it all, opening the door for J.R.R. Tolkien to create the world of Middle Earth – without it, there would be no Lord of the Rings or any of the other tales and poems. There are so many other epic things that we can also credit back to Tolkien’s creation of the Hobbit and Middle Earth, for instance, at least four Led Zepellin songs either reference or were written specifically about The Lord of the Rings.
We remember first opening The Hobbit and how it sucked us into its world full of mythical creatures, magic, and fantasy. Thank you J.R.R. Tolkien, you and your novel are truly an Epic Win.
