In my book "Lord of the Rings" the setting starts out in Hobbition. The young Frodo Baggins and his elder Bilbo Baggins live. They live in the part of Hobbiton called the Shire. Many hobbits live in this part. It is a quiet place and not much and adventure is there.
Frodo is not that into the domestic life but he cant bring himself to leave the shire. Bilbo has been to many places in middle earth and Frodo strives to be like him. The Shire is a sweet town filled with the great round doors of hobbit holes. The gardens are always neatly groomed and well put together. the hobbits there were nice and friendly but enjoyed a good scoop of gossip.
outside of the Shire there is adventures of the great kingdoms and the dangers of Mirkwood. Hobbits rarely leave the Shire and most of them don't long for the adventure that Frodo wishes.
