The Hobbit Is 70 Today  | read this item

 

It is 70 years today since The Hobbit first went to print. Assuming the book made it into the shops by the next day we might have a reason for the importance of 22 September for Tolkien. It would be a big coincidence that Bilbo and Frodo both had their birthday on the 22nd September for some other reason, or perhaps pure luck.
