Yr Hobyd (The Hobbit in Welsh)

Mewn twll yn y ddaear trigai hobyd...

Bilbo Baglan is a hobyd who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobyd-hole in Pen-y-Bag. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalff, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on a journey 'there and back again'. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smawg, a large and very dangerous dragon...
