This book takes place during the final events of The Lord of the Rings. So the whole book (and consequently, my review) is a spoiler for LOTR. You’ve been warned. :) This is literally Bilbo’s last song; this is his final reflection before he leaves Middle Earth forever, near the end of his very long life. This is not Tolkien’s greatest poem, although stylistically, it still fits right in with the other hobbit poetry from other books, and it feels very much like part of that same universe. But the point of this isn’t the form or even the quality of the poem itself: the point is the pathos, and this sure delivers. The poem is emotional, and with the context of the closing events of LOTR, it makes for a very powerful reading experience. Finally, no review would be complete without a mention of the illustrations. For me, the pictures are the highlight of the book. The images tell the story, with most of the page given over to old Bilbo reflecting on his life and journeying to the havens, while running along the bottom of the pages—what a delight!—is the story of young Bilbo’s first adventure from The Hobbit. The illustrations are lovely and evocative. This book hits every mark: a perfect send-off to a beloved character, and a beautiful meditation on the end of the novel.

This dramatization of Tolkien’s The Hobbit is a must-read for any fan of the novel. It is quite different in tone, which is only natural, but this difference is part of what makes this version so enjoyable. I relish the opportunity to experience someone else’s interpretation of a beloved novel, and in this case, I was pleasantly surprised by what was cut out and what was left in. I was impressed with the character development in such a truncated plot, not just Bilbo, but the Dwarves too. Parts were very silly, and parts were unexpectedly moving.
