Breve biografia
Carol Kendall, née Seeger, was born in Bucyrus, Ohio, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Ohio University in 1939. That same year, she married Paul Murray Kendall, an English professor, historian, and a biographer with whom she had two daughters. Although some of her early published works, beginning with The Black Seven in 1946, were written for adults, she is best-known for her children's science fiction and fantasy novels. Her book The Gammage Cup (1960) was a Newbery Honor book and won the Ohioana award. It was adapted into an animated film for television. She also won the Parents Choice award and the Mythopoeic Society Aslan award for The Firelings (1981). After traveling in Asia, she became interested in folk tales and translated and retold, with co-author Yao-wen Li, two collections: Sweet and Sour: Tales of China and Cinnamon Moon.

The Hobbit, by JK Rowling. There's nothing particularly original here, but it's a mostly-gentle, warm, funny little story.

I read this book years ago for school, and really enjoyed it. There’s something about the simplicity in this story, combined with typical human nature and a small group of people that worked to save the rest, that is appealing and just plain fun to read about. I think Carol Kendall had a lot of fun writing this story, and I know my siblings and I certainly had a lot of fun reading it together recently! If you enjoy fantasy with a twist, this would be an excellent choice. There’s a lot to love here!… (altro)

One of my favorite books as a kid and I still love it. Solid and fun fantasy novel that I highly recommend as comfort food with a dash of excitement.
