The Hobbit

The Hobbit was a book by J. R. R. Tolkien. (PROSE: The B.O Bank Holiday Special!, Biography)

In 1968, Vincent Elven Wishbone wrote the concept album Mr Parley-Chin (PROSE: Biography) based on The Hobbit. (PROSE: The B.O Bank Holiday Special!) However, Tolkien denied him the rights to create music based on the novel, (PROSE: Biography) so Vincent changed the songs to feature pixies. (PROSE: The B.O Bank Holiday Special!)

An old man gave a signed first-edition copy of the novel at Bernice Summerfield and Jason Kane's wedding in Cheldon Bonniface on 24 April 2010. He remarked that it was "not so much a book, more a way of life." (PROSE: Happy Endings)

Bernice Summerfield thought Gully looked like a character from The Hobbit. (PROSE: Digging up the Past)
