| Hurrah! Hobbits! I so love the little details that bring the chapter to life. The heaviness of elven doors. Pippin blushing in Arwen's presence! The particulars of the "large spread of food" (I learned long ago from JoDancingTree's and Dreamflower's examples to describe food in some detail for the reader's sake)! A flip-book! (On a more somber note, I'm sure the children's talk about certain details was disturbing, especially for the Bagginses at table.) Speaking of media, I just remembered the scheme for the chapter titles. Arwen is so thoughtful and understanding. And perceptive. (And now I want a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich.) For some reason, I'm hungry. I'm going to go and put the chicken in the oven now for an early dinner...) Author Reply: And sone Kool-Aid to go with your sandwich? =) Yes, Arwen really is all of that, which is most fortunate for the children. Yes, it comes as quite a surprise that the children know a little about the hobbits, who are fictional characters where they come from. I'm glad you enjoy the details! K.G. | |

| Ah, so the books and movies exist in their world! Interesting - I wonder if the children’s presence will change anything. I bet meetings the Hobbits was fun! Author Reply: Yep, it was! You'll see whether their presence changes things or not. Yep, the books and movies do, but there's just one problem: the McClouds have never become acquainted with them! =) They've neither read the books nor watched the movies themselves--just bits and pieces of the movies while channel-surfing. | |
