Under My Wing  by Edoraslass 2 Review(s)

A delightful account of little Boromir's foray into his City under Nanny's watchful eye. The market and vendors were particularly well-described, and I could almost see and hear the bustle. Best of all was Boromir's happiness; as the Steward's grandson, he would be sheltered at this age; and his excited reaction to all the different stimuli was wonderful to read.

Loved the bit about the puppet show with Captain Thorongil defeating the Corsairs.

Author Reply: Thanks! Honestly, I got a bit worn out writing that -- it's always so tiring to keep up with energetic little kids in public places!

Hi Edoraslass.
I just started to read this very delightful story and so far enjoy it very much. This chapter was great fun and very interesting with all the wonderful things and vendors at the market place. Wish such a place were available where I live.


You have such a wonderful way of describing life in Minas Tirith and the Citadel that I felt I was right there in the middle of it all.
Little Boromir is a most adorable loving little fellow temper trantrums and all. Loved his belt pouches and contents

Looking forward to read remainder of the story.

Janet


Author Reply: I know what you mean - there's no open market near me either, and marketplaces always seem so exotic!

And thank you! Even the sweetest kids will be hard-headed some of the time -- though perhaps Boromir more often than others. :)
