'The Hobbit', Audio Book- Part I of III

This is J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit'. A classic on so many levels methinks^_^

This reading of the book by Nicol Williamson is an abridged version, meaning of course that it is not the entire book word for word.

Anywho, I put some pictures in with the vid, though they're not in sync with the story. That's what your imagination is for.. O_o And if ye're anything like me, ye'll know that reading a book like The Hobbit, or LOTR & using your imagination to see the world, to create those memorable feelings, is immeasurably more satisfying than watching any movie. Not dissing the LOTR movies here peoples, I quite enjoy the.. first one, but they're just movies with no-where near the feeling of the books. That being said, I like perrty pictures too & so I put some in here just because.

Suggestion: Forget the pictures, have a quiet room, close yours eyes, sit back & listen. With any luck it's a rainy day. I always seemed to love reading LOTR & The Hobbit on rainy days..

You're missing a LOT of lines from my version..it's really upsetting not to be able to follow along with you..

[ThrobnWood]

@greensharpiegirl This is Nicol Williamson reading mah good ladeh :3 But yes, it's abridged unfortunately. The LOTR audio-books read by Rob Inglis are the full versions. Seventeen hours later... ._. Check them out on my other account. The link to the first one is in the video responses here.

Just wondering but why is The fellowship audio book 16hours but the hobbit is only 3

[ThrobnWood]

@scottygolfs Because the LOTR audio-book is unabridged. Also, looking at my Hobbit & Fellowship books they have roughly the same amount of pages ( 389 & 385 respectively ), though the LOTR has smaller print.

This voice will always represent Tolkien's world to me. Reminds me of being a kid! Williamson's voice and the evoative dulcimer and harp music. Wonderful :)
