To what extents did Tolkien borrow characters,events and objects that are found in the book,"The Hobbit" from the pervious literature,"Scandinavia"

Question

I have not read either of these works, but if you go to http://www.google.com and enter as search terms, you may find some information.

Sorry ... I meant to suggest some search terms. You can try this string (including the quotation marks) or any combination:

"the Hobbit" pervious literature Scandinavia

Scandinavia pervious literature ,"The Hobbit".
