The Lord of the Rings Study Guide Prologue Concerning Hobbits

The Lord of the Rings is a fantasy fantastasical masterpiece that bowled over the Science and Fantasy world way back in 1954 or so, and it still is a favorite now in 2019.  

I know that eventhough this is a very long book, you will be tempted to skip over the prologue, I suggest that you study it as a history book.  It sets the stage for the action that will start when the book opens in Chapter 1.

What type of houses do they like to build?
