The wizard Gandalf has chosen Bilbo Baggins to join Thorin and company on their quest to the Lonley Mountain.
At first they had passed through hobbit-lands, a wild respectable country inhabited by decent folk, with good roads, an inn or two, and now and then, a dwarf or a farmer ambling by on business. Then they came to lands where people spoke strangely, and sang songs Bilbo had never heard before. - The Hobbit.
