Description : What led Gandalf to believe Bilbo Baggins was qualified for "an adventure"?
Last Answer : Gandalf had been to the Shire before, he seems to have known Bilbo's mother Belladonna, a Took, he recognized that Bilbo had a strong Tookish side to him (Tooks being mainly of Fallohide ... with a reputation for unusual behaviour). He also found Bilbo to be more inquisitive than other Hobbits.
