The Hobbit, or, There and Back Again originated in the stories which Tolkien told to his children. It was not initially conceived as part of the Middle-earth legendarium. When Tolkien began writing The Hobbit 's sequel, The Lord of the Rings, he made it part of his previously-existing legendarium. Although the books fit together, the style and tone of The Hobbit is much "lighter" and the novel is relatively easier to read than The Lord of the Rings.
