The Hobbit (Dramatised)

The Classic BBC Radio Production

De: J.R.R. Tolkien

Narrado por: Heron Carvic, Paul Daneman, Anthony Jackson, Francis de Wolff, John Justin, John Pullen, Full cast

Dwarves, elves, goblins, trolls, dragons and wizards - these are the ingredients of J.R.R. Tolkien's wonderful fantasy, the prelude to The Lord of The Rings, now the subject of a major feature film series. The hero of the tale is Bilbo Baggins, a home-loving unambitious hobbit who is suddenly thrust into what turns out to be the biggest adventure of his life. Guided by Gandalf the wizard, Bilbo and a company of dwarves set out to destroy Smaug the Magnificent, a ferocious dragon who guards a treasure hoard. Their journey contains many dangers, and in facing them the reluctant Bilbo's great resourcefulness and courage surprises everyone - not least himself! Since it was first broadcast in 1968, this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation has become a classic in its own right, perfectly evoking Tolkien's magical other world and its enchanting, fantastic inhabitants.© and (P)1988, 1994, 1997, 2002 BBC Audiobooks Ltd

Reseñas de la Crítica

The Hobbit delivers a classic adventure. If you’re travelling with children and have a three-hour-42-minute journey to fill, the 1968 BBC dramatisation starring Paul Daneman and Anthony Jackson will keep everyone on the edge of their car seats.

anyone who wishes to get an idea of what The Hobbit might be like as one faithful film... should seek this out. It might lack the dynamism of the cinematic adaptation, but the world it creates feels more dangerous and real - www.denofgeek.com, Andrew Blair, 13/12/2013 (Andrew Blair)

The BBC adaptation is well structured and Paul Daneman is incredibly well cast as Bilbo. If you don't already own this, then now is the perfect time to add this wonderful radio play to your collection. (Nick Smithson)

this is a jolly romp and great fun t listen to. 8year old nephew found the many songs a bit too much, but i loved it

Audio quality isn't the best

Honestly, I had a horrible time trying to find the right volume for this book. The music often overpowers the voices, and the whispers are indecipherable. I'd like to insert one of those, "Headphone wearers beware," statements from Instagram, because the yelling can be painfully loud if you have the volume set for the normal dialogue.
I really would have loved this version if they would adjust the volumes of the voices.

Really enjoyed it

While the name pronunciation is inconsistent, once you get past that, the dramatizations is great!

A nice listen

I like all the music in this audio book, and how the voices have a great expression.

narration was undecipherable. too much noise

narrative was Gastly. noisey. two last chapters only music? senseless. felt unread. too much drama.
