The Hobbit, along with all of J.R.R. Tolkien's novels are widely acknowledged in Popular Culture, especially in film. This past holiday season commenced the release of the first movie, The Hobbit, and since then this novel has gained popularity among children and adults alike. While I have yet to see the movie, I am looking forward to it based on the quality of the novel.

also....
Toys and collectables related to The Hobbit and other Tolkien novels and film adaptation are quite numerous, and available at local toy stores or online sites.
I was not a previous fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and acknowledge that his very large fan base and following exceeds my own knowledge of his work and adaptations from his work. I strongly advise looking into other blogs about The Hobbit and other Tolkien novels if you would like to explore further.
An interesting fact I learned when researching Tolkien is that Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were friends, although they battled jealousy between one another and differences in their works... for this inquiry I will also be looking at Lewis' The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Look out for this post, hopefully I can uncover more connections between the two writers.
