The —, 1937 novel by J R R Tolkien (6)

I believe the answer is:

hobbit

(Other definitions for hobbit that I've seen before include "The Baggins's race" , "Tolkien character" , "Tolkien's furry-footed creature" , "Tolkien's hole-dweller" , "Tolkien's hairy-footed creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
