Product Details

The Soddit by Adam Roberts is a humorous parody of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, following the adventures of a "Soddit" named Bingo Grabbings, a wizard named Gandef, and a group of dwarves on a quest to steal treasure from a dragon named Smug. Published in 2003, it spoofs the fantasy genre with puns, pop culture references (like Doctor Who), and witty takes on classic tropes, while also functioning as a clever story in its own right, even featuring a "Thing" that inverts speech.
