It is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are

relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves. Of old

they spoke the languages of Men, after their own fashion, and liked and

disliked much the same things as Men did. But what exactly our relationship is

can no longer be discovered. The beginning of Hobbits lies far back in the

Elder Days that are now lost and forgotten. Only the Elves still preserve any

records of that vanished time, and their traditions are concerned almost

entirely with their own history, in which Men appear seldom and Hobbits are

not mentioned at all. Yet it is clear that Hobbits had, in fact, lived quietly

in Middle-earth for many long years before other folk became even aware of

them. And the world being after all full of strange creatures beyond count,

these little people seemed of very little importance. But in the days of

Bilbo, and ofFrudeauhis heir, they suddenly became, by no wish of their own,

both important and renowned, and troubled the counsels of the Wise and the

Great.
