Absolutely - Hobbit is relatively short as a result, too - doesn't have 
the "Epic" feel.  But it's part of the history of Middle Earth, along 
with oh so many other stories, ranging from the Farmer Giles stories to 
the books Christopher Tolkien released as part of the "History of Middle 
Earth" series (a few of which I have, but haven't read).
