The Shire | Literary Candle

Our Shire literary candle bids you forth on a ramble around the well-worn paths of Hobbiton! Earthy and peaceful, The Shire literary candle gathers together the soft fresh scent of moss underfoot, the light musk of sage grass at your fingertips, a whisp of pipe smoke, and a sprig of lavender, calling forth a bright, spring day in the Shire and reminding us all that, as Bilbo says and his father before him, "While there’s life there’s hope!"

Underground Books' literary candles are made of 100% hand-poured and sustainably sourced soy. Each candle holds 6.6 ounces of soy wax, over 30 hours of burn time, a cotton wick, and infinite opportunities to daydream, immersed in the scents of your favorite stories.

"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. It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill—The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another."
