Question about The Hobbit (or dragons in general)

[WhyNot]

@Lightray

Perhaps you’re misremembering Barbara Hambly’s Dragonsbane series, wherein dragons horde gold because they need it for their magical/spiritual advancement?

Nope, never read those.

But I read a LOT of crap S&S as a kid, including lots of anthologies. I can’t even recall if it was a novel, series, short story or the back of a cereal box.
