JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit is the definition of a heros tale, and a very successful example at that. Although The Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy are extremely popular, I can't say that I'm the biggest fan. It's not that I dislike them, I just didn't get into them as much as I thought I would.
However, The Hobbit is a great hero's story. Bilbo starts out as a 'weak', timid character, but after accepting his destiny, and with help from his mentor, he grows into the hero he needs to be.
One of my favorite things about the story is the diversity of the characters in the stories world. It was an interesting mix, and I love creating them in my head.
