Sept. 22nd is Bilbo and Frodo's birthday.
4. If Middle Earth had existed, where did Tolkien say Hobbiton would have been in England?
I'm afraid I must apologize and confess I misunderstood the statement I read. It was not where in England but that Hobbiton is the span of Oxford in England.

14. What are the names of the three elves who greet the Fellowship at the edge of Lothlorien?
Haldir and his brothers, Rúmil and Orophin.
15. What did Tolkien originally want to name The Return of the King?
He feared The Return of the King would give away too much of the plot, so he wanted to title it The War of the Ring.
And the Bonus Question!
16. What is Fangorn's full name?
Here we go:
Ok, I lied. I KNOW I found it somewhere, but as I didn't not take the time to memorize the un-hasty Entish name, I can not find it now that it comes time to post it to all who have been waiting!
Well, of course that is how things turn out for those who are too hasty, hoom hom, hoom hom. ;)
Until next time!
(Sorry, I just had to, if you take my meaning, Mr. Frodo. ;))
So just wondering, who is your favorite character in LOTR?? I must confess mine is Sam :D he's just so loyal and heroic!!
ReplyDeleteI love Sam too! Although, I have to say Legolas is my favorite. I have a lot of close seconds, but the list is probably too long to put down here. :D
