The Hobbit Seventy Years Later

Seems I missed this, but yesterday was the seventieth anniversary of the first date of publishing of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Although fantasy existed before The Hobbit, it never came into its own until the book.

Wow, we should have a party for it!
And that’s a little strange - my copy of The Hobbit, which I ordered off Amazon last week, arrived yesterday…
Coincidence..? *stares darkly*
