"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."
These words, published by Allen & Unwin Ltd., appeared 80 years ago today.

By an odd coincidence, if you put all of the Tolkien movies together and watched them back-to-back, it would take you 80 years to finish.
