Hobbit Background

For those of you who, like me, will go to see the third and final installment of Peter Jackson’s destruction of The Hobbit.

This four minute video explains some of the basic mythology of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth.

Most of this isn’t too pertinent to understanding The Hobbit, but some of it can be more helpful in understanding The Lord of the Rings.  Merry Christmas Eve!
