| This is such a lovely story of Bilbo's younger days. I'm quite enjoying reading about Fortinbras time too. Can I pursuade you to finish it? I quite want to know how things turn out with Isen. Thanks! :D ~Silmerina Author Reply: Thank you. There's half a chapter finished at the moment, and I keep hoping for more. I appreciate the encouragement--perhaps it'll jog the story from its resting place and onward once more. | |

| Tea with a wizard! The advantages of being immediate family! Author Reply: Yikes, Bodkin, heartiest of apologies for not answering this very old review! How could I have missed it? | |

| I wonder how many times Gandalf has been through the Shire before, watching the hobbits scurry from place to place (mostly into their holes away from him), remembering long-ago days when he walked with the little people before they were quite so settled, smiling to himself and looking for that spark of adventure, of curiosity, of deeply-buried courage? How long has he been waiting to be asked to tea? And now here he is, at what really is the beginning of the adventure in hobbit-nurturing and development that will eventually overtake Bilbo, and ultimately culminate in the cultivation of Frodo, the best hobbit in the Shire. I'm looking forward to seeing this beginning. Author Reply: What a lovely picture, the old man walking through the Shire, leaning on his staff, smiling to himself and remembering. Perhaps a small and curious lad came up to him, before being snatched away by a big sister, and he saw the ghost of a long-dead ancestor in a dimpled chin or turned-up nose, or wide eyes. And now he is about to take tea with another small and curious lad. | |

| What a wonderful way to meet our beloved Gandalf! Author Reply: It was fun to imagine this meeting. Hurrah for an "eccentric" Grandfa! | |

| Ah, Gerontius and Gandalf! This is momentous! I do love young Fortinbras' description--it may have been taken from The Hobbit, but he's impressed his own lively personality on it! Author Reply: Well, Gerontius will come along in a few generations... I don't have the family tree in front of me, so I don't remember how many it is from Grandfa to Gerontius. But Grandfa is laying the foundation for that famous friendship! ...as well as a return visit, in Fortinbras' time. I just love Fortinbras... he's young enough to speak without thinking first, and he's about to make himself memorable... (hope that's not too much of a spoiler) | |
