Welcome!
Dutch Hobbit 1960 homepage
On this website you will see how, in the year 1975, one copy of The Hobbit became the start of quite a collection of Hobbits and other books by and on J.R.R. Tolkien. My first Hobbit was the 12th printing (1975) of the Dutch translation. It was a birthday present.
At this moment (October, 2011) I have some 400 different Hobbits in 62 languages. The Frisian (local language in The Netherlands) was language # 59, the Bengali translation (recently published) is # 60. Number 61 is a Vietnamese translation and then there is number 62, the Marathi translation. He arrived October, 27.
If you have any questions or if you have books in which I might be interested, don’t hesitate and contact me. And certainly do so if you have any information that will make this site more complete.
It is my wish to make this site THE Hobbit site. Will that be easy? Certainly not, but … why not try at least? And you can help!
