Beautiful - and well worth being woken from your bed.

Author Reply: Thank you, Bodkin! I appreciate it :)

Ahh, that's the one dissapointment I had on my cruise to Alaska this past September. Every night was a cloudy one where we were sailing, so I was unable to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis, aka the Northern Lights. I'm glad to be able to witness it here with my favorite hobbits, however :D

Author Reply: Oooh, an Alaskan cruise, how exciting! Maybe someday you will go back and see the Northern Lights. I live in a big city, so there is no hope in seeing them here. But I hope I will have the opportunity someday!
Thanks for reading, Elemmírë. I'm so glad you enjoyed :)

I too will not forget my sight of the Northern Lights. They were like shimmering transluscent curtains of palest green, blue, and violet. We could even *hear* them crackle in the stillness of the wilderness night sky. Amazing.

Definitely worth waking up young hobbits for!

Author Reply: What a lovely sight! I hope to see it someday, in person rather than trying to find good images online! I'm very glad you enjoyed this - thank you so much!

I've seen the Northern Lights - they are a wonder indeed! Well worth waking young hobbits up to see :-)

Well Done, ST!

Author Reply: Thanks very much, Pearl! I'm so happy you enjoyed :)

Now that is something I really would like to see myself. Worth getting up for, both for the hobbits and for me to get up and read this morning.

Author Reply: Aw, thanks so much, harrowcat! I appreciate it! :D

I've only seen the Northern Lights maybe twice in my life, and both times it was awe-inspiring indeed.

Lovely that Bilbo and Frodo are doing their best to make certain that Merry and Pippin get to see them, too.

Author Reply: Thanks, Larner! I've never seen the Northern Lights in person but it is something I hope to do someday. I love writing about young hobbits learning from older ones, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity. Glad you enjoyed :)
