Book title: The Hobbit

Bilbo's adventures awaken his courage and shows his relentless ability to do what needs to be done.

Thorin: The leader of the dwarves who go on the treasure, Thorin is in many ways a typical member of his race: brave, proud, and greedy for gold. Thorin's grandfather is the king under the Mountain.
