«The Soddit» is Adam Roberts's fantasy parody, published by Gollancz in hardback (240 pages, in English).
Parody of The Hobbit: Bingo «Sac» Grabbings, an ordinary Soddit from the Upper Middle-earth, sets off with Gandef the Coughing Wizard and a band of far-from-heroic dwarves to take his gold from the dragon Smug. The novel, by a Tolkien scholar, reinvents the classic with humour and satire, between homage and mockery.
It is the first instalment of the Cardboard Box of the Rings series. The author signs on the cover as A.R.R.R. Roberts. Originally published in 2003.
For Tolkien fans looking for a humorous read; the satire capitalises on the fame of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Adam Charles Roberts is a British science fiction and fantasy novelist. In 2018 he was elected vice-president of the H. G. Wells Society.
