The Lord of the Rings At the beginning of the novel, what makes the rest of the hobbits talk about Bilbo Baggins and his 111th birthday? Asked by MHood2 on 18 May 07:46 Last updated by anonymous on 19 May 15:30
In Lord of the Rings, Bilbo Baggins, is turning 111 years old, but doesn't look his age. He is still looking much like he did as a younger man. This makes the hobbits a little afraid of him.
