Finally a Tolkien book, The Hobbit, makes it onto a Government recommended reading list! This is from the scheme where all schools with at least 20 biys aged 11-14 will get a set of 20 books for free from a long and interesting list. Not only is The Hobbit one of these but there are loads of fantasy and sci-fi choices including Pratchett and Gaiman. Plus, the graphic novel version of The Hobbit will be available!

Boys Into Books

Quite pleasing that The Hobbit is not on a 'compulsory' list and will be one of many books freely available for leisure reading.
