The Hobbit

I've been reading The Hobbit and one thing that strikes me repeatedly is how much more informal this book is than the LoTR books. The latter have a self-conscious tone of narrating epochal events. The former just reads like a rollicking adventure story (at least it seems to be, till now!).

Tolkien wrote The Hobbit before the LoTR books. I'm guessing its success made him a bit more self-conscious and stilted his story-telling a bit.
