Welcome!
Dutch Hobbit 1960 homepage
On this website you will see how, in the year 1975, my first 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 (March, 2013) I have a collection of some 450 different Hobbits in 67 languages. The three latest additions were translations in Columbian / Spanish (first print 2012), Yiddish (first print 2012) and Cuban / Spanish (first print 1989). And more and more editions with the movie cover are being published.
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!
