| I read this AGES ago, but just realized that I didn't review it! D'oh! I absolutely LOVE this story, BB. Just amazing. Frodo truly is special, and I love how he was concieved by "starlight"... that is so full of meaning and imagery it's just amazing. I keep using that word... better find another one. ;) And I especially like Gandalf's hand in all of it.. naming a hobbit indeed! :) And Prim's dreams... oh my. I remember being amazed by them the first time I read that, and I still am. How sad for her to know her son's end and yet not know it. I just loved this story. Author Reply: How nice to find such lovely reviews - quite made my evening. poor Prim - there is no way she could even begin to imagine what would befall him (just as well)but as a far-sighted Took she knows it will not be pleasant. Starlight is so meaningful in Tolkien's story and the imagery was there. | |

| Wow! Amazing! Oh, I can't imagine Frodo being called Bingo! *shudder* And your baby Frodo is so beautiful! :-) God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Interestingly, Bingo was the name Professor Tolkien had for his hobbit hero originally. Only later did it change to Frodo (thankfully). So I was rather naughty there. :-)) Glad you liked it - I couldn't resist a little foreshadowing in this story - Primula was a grand-daughter of Gerontius Took, after all. Those odd Tooks and their funny ways! | |

| What a lovely concept runs through this story, and I loved the quote from Shakespeare. You so perfectly explain why 'our' Frodo looks so different from other hobbits, and I have to tell you, the mental picture of Gandalf holding the infant Frodo just melted me. This was beautifully and affectionally conceived and written. Author Reply: It seems there was always something a bit different about Frodo, and he is often described as having an Elvish air. Oh I loved writing this, and I turned into a wibbly puddle at the idea of Gandalf with baby Frodo! Thank you for you wonderful comments. | |

| "Who knows what the ridiculous Bagginses may be capable of in the years to come?" I love that line! Wonderful as always! :-) Author Reply: I always loved that line of Gandalf's in 'The Shadow of the Past' when he says what a terrible blow it would be if all the hobbits, including the ridiculous Bagginses were enslaved. Couldn't resist slipping it in there. Nice to know you enjoyed the story - you just have to love Bilbo and Gandalf, and baby Frodo, of course! | |

| I enjoyed this BB and a lovely take on the birth of Frodo. Trust Gandalf to be around with his gentle wisdom. And I love the connection between Primula and Bilbo. Author Reply: I've always thought that Bilbo and Primula would have had some sort of connection, both being born to daughters of the Old Took. Gandalf is such fun to write and I wanted him to have a connection to Frodo from the first. I think we could all learn something from Gandalf's widom and compassion I think. | |

| Aha, so, the same Nuzgul has left its traces on you, has it? Lovely! And love the quote from Shakespeare--very appropriate! Author Reply: I started this a few weeks ago and then real life got in the way. Guess the Nuzgul popped in to London, or sent a close relative! The cats were not pleased. Many thanks for your comments. | |

| "There is no reason why a remarkable soul should not be born in the Shire. Perhaps the Valar are beginning to share my opinion that hobbits are amazing and interesting people." Fascinating as always, BB! :D Author Reply: I like to think that Gandalf took an interest in our favourite hobbit from his earliest days. Glad you enjoyed it. | |
