Author Reply: Thanks! Just a bit of fluff; I do like wee hobbits!

Sweet fic and cute story~
Loved this description of Frodo: The little hobbit in his nightshirt and his blue dressing-gown smelled of rosemary soap and his dark curls were still damp from his bath. awww~! =)

Author Reply: Oh thanks! I figured that Primula would have gotten her little lad all ready for bed before turning him over to Uncle Bilbo for the night!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: I think he must have loved stories from a very young age!

I can just imagine Aunt Dora saying.."what a sweet little moralistic tale.
Lovely Dreamflower.

(Hope you don't mind me being pedantic! 'I before E except after C. (4th sentence)) I can talk....the worst speller in the class!

Author Reply: I can imagine Aunt Dora making up "Tip and Tulip" stories!

And no I don't mind-- I do know the rule,but sometimes my fingers get ahead of my brain, LOL!

Sweet story! I wish my children would clean up the messes they make... (Well, sometimes they do.)

Author Reply: Well, apparently hobbit children were mostly well-behaved. And of course, besides all that, "Tip and Tulip" are role models (and fictional) and are naturally much better behaved than even the usual hobbit-child.

Aw, Tip and Tulip! A nice birthday present for wee Frodo!

And what do you think happened then?

"What? Uncle Bilbo, what happened?"


And now I remember again why questions like these are placed in children's stories. They encourage them to interrupt and participate - something that adults would hardly do, not even if the story was read *to* them. But it makes a story much more funny and interesting - and not only for the listener :-)

Author Reply: Yes, because a story being read or told to a child is very much an inter-active sort of thing!

Must... resist... fluff...

*breaks down into very undignified manner of squeeing not at all consonant with self-image*

Those hobbit storybooks are very appropriately hobbity. And this was really, really cute.

Author Reply: The problem with trying to resist fluff is that it is so...well, fluffy! As everyone knows, the more you push against it, the deeper you sink.

I'm so glad you find them appropriate to hobbits-- they do, after all always have a moral.

It is not only Pippin who enjoys Tip and Tulip tales, we see! Heh!

Author Reply: No, they are quite beloved by many a young hobbit! The parents tell them for the gentle lessons to be learned, but the little children love them for the whimsical element that usually comes into play, always validated at the end by "aunty". There's a certain predictability to them-- and young hobbit children love that they know how each story will begin and end, even when the middle is different.
