'''The Hobbitonian Anthology''' is a book by [[Mark T. Hooker]], illustrated by [[James Dunning]].
==From the Publisher==
This monograph is the second collection of analytic articles on [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s "[[The Lord of the Rings]]" and "[[The Hobbit]]," written by Tolkien scholar and Comparative Translationist [[Mark T. Hooker]], most famous, perhaps, for his application of Comparative Translation to the study of Tolkien.

The collection is a miscellany, but largely linguistic in nature.
* Part One of the book is about names: [[Bilbo]], [[Bag-End]], [[Boffin]], [[Farmer Maggot]], [[Puddifoot Family|Puddifoot]], [[Stoor]], [[William Huggins|Huggins]], [[Tom Bombadil]], [[Ivy Bush|The Ivy Bush]], [[The Golden Perch]], and a bevy of place names, including the [[Four Shire Stone]] and the Rollright Stones in the neighborhood of [[Evesham]], the ancestral home of Tolkien’s mother’s family, the [[Mabel Suffield|Suffield]]s. The articles in Part One discuss the meanings of these names and their English analogues, both from a linguistic, a geographic, and biographic viewpoint.
* The articles in Part Two explore the terms bootless, nine days’ wonder, [[Uncommon words|confusticate]] and bebother, [[Uncommon words|hundredweight]], and [[Uncommon words|leechcraft]].
* In Part Three, Hooker continues his work in translation studies, looking at the Bulgarian, Belorussian, Czech, Slovak, Dutch, German, Polish, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian translations of "The Hobbit" with a series of comparative pieces on how the translators handled Tolkien’s nomenclature.
* Part Four is an examination of the Russian translations of "[[Leaf by Niggle]]."
