En un agujero en el suelo, vivía un hobbit.

The version I read was the translation by Manuel Figueroa.

A much loved classic, translated into Spanish. A fantastic fantasy story of a hobbit on a journey through a world of dwarves, elves and dragons.

I thought the characters’ dialogue might be old fashioned and difficult to understand but that wasn’t the case. I’ve also heard that fantasy books can be difficult to read in another language due to specialised vocabulary but again that wasn’t the case for me with this one.

It’s a good length book which I thoroughly enjoyed rereading in a different language.
