Marigold's Red Book  by MarigoldG 5 Review(s)

I love this one! I think it is so practical and so very like the folks of Buckland. I enjoyed it when I fist read it and I'm glad you've posted it here. It's an excellent look at how those odd Bucklanders began their reputation for interesting behavior.

Author Reply: I'm glad that you love it! I think that it would be fun to write some more drabblings about how some of the other major families developed their idiosyncrasies, though they certainly wouldn't be so outlandish as those Bucklanders! Thanks for commenting here!

Oh, I remember this! It was just as touching today as is was then. A beautiful little piece about *why* the Bucklanders came to be swimmers. As always, very well written, and an absolute delight to read. :-)

Author Reply: Thank you so much T! I had completely forgotten this one and ran across it quite unexpectedly. I figured that there had to be a pivotal point at which the Bucklanders took the plunge so to speak, lol! Thanks again!

Ah, yes. It will make the Brandybucks even more of a byword in the Shire (as folk who are decidedly "odd"), but saving lives is worth it.

Nice to see this!

*hug*

Good hobbitsense! A shame it didn't save Frodo's parents, but I'm sure it saved a good many Bucklanders.

So much in so little always amazes me; well done, MG! :-)

Author Reply: Thanks Pearl!

Yes! So this is how it started, is it!

And it's been TOO long between drabbles, Marigold!

Author Reply: I reasoned that it had to start *somewhere*, lol! This is actually one that I wrote months ago for one of the Challenges and forgot about. I wish I had some time for writing some new ones!

Thank you so much Larner!
