Collins Classics presents The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien Red Bye Rory would would hey, Chapter one, an unexpected party in a hole in the ground. There lived a hobbit, not a nasty, dirty wet hole filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat. It was a hobbit hole, and that means comfort. It had a perfectly round door, like a porthole painted green with a shiny yellow brass knob. In the exact middle. The door opened onto a tube shaped hole like a tunnel, very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls on floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polish chairs and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats. The Hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill. The hill, as all the people for many miles round Colditz and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another, no going upstairs for the hobbit bedrooms, bathrooms, sellers, pantries, lots of these wardrobes, he had whole rooms devoted to cloves kitchens, dining rooms all were on the same floor and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the left hand side going in, for these were the only ones to have windows, deep set round windows looking over his garden and the meadows beyond sloping down towards the river.
