| Aha! So, that is the way of it, is it? Raven has always been known for trickery, after all. And Nahar appears to have had the best time of all! Author Reply: Thank you, Larner! Yes! Nahar was happy; Raven was happy; the people of the Éothéod (and their mares) were happy. Even Béma was happy in his ignorance! | |

| This is absolutely lovely. Author Reply: Thank you, shirebound! I'm glad you liked it! | |

| This is probably one of my favourites out of this collection. A touch of Pinocchio, but not as dark. I like a story with a true happy ever after ending. Author Reply: The happy endings show up, or don't--I seldom get a choice as to how a story ends! The stories unfold as they will. Thank you again, earthdragon, for reading and commenting! I"m so happy you've enjoyed my little tales! | |

| Brilliant. A mixture of swan lake and Tolkien and a lovely explanation for why the House of Dol Amroth have the swan as their symbol. Author Reply: So glad you liked it! As a variation on one of several real-world swan tales, it nearly wrote itself! Thank you for commenting! | |

| Wonderful story. The golden haired lady was, of course, Goldberry, who sounded a lot more interesting than she usually does. Poor infatuated Kali - thank goodness for Gladden's commonsense. Author Reply: Thanks, earthdragon! Oh, I figure Goldberry is plenty active, when just doesn't get a lot of press! Also, I wanted to try a "helpful animals" story, which worked really well with a Hobbit protagonist. | |

| This was a beautiful story, although I'm rather sad that the web smith didn't find a soulmate of her own. Author Reply: Thank you for reading and commenting! At first, I did try to get her hooked up with the king, but she would have none of it (characters are like that)! For now, she's happy being single. | |

| Oh, this was very good and very much in the tradition of classical fairy tales. If there's a moral in this tale, I would suppose it would be not to count your blessings. How sad to think of the prince constantly searching for a way back into the golden woods and never finding it. Author Reply: Thank you, earthdragon! I'm so glad you liked it! Yes, this one is rather sad; many real-world fairy tales have sad or tragic endings. If there are morals (I don't intentionally write morals), one of them is a pretty common one: Actions have consequences. Again, thank you for commenting! | |

| These are wonderful! I found them on a very dreary and wet Thanksgiving day. Thak you for this gift. Author Reply: Walker-skye, thank you for commenting! I hope they brightened your gloomy day. So glad you like them. | |

| Ooh, I love the images in this one, as she flees from the compulsion of Sauron, now that he arises anew. And there is the dragon, I deem, that Tolkien himself desired with such a fierce desire as he wrought his own gifts from Faerie to share with a desirous world. Author Reply: So glad you liked this, Larner! I have wanted to write a dragon tale for quite a while, and when I was inspired to try Old English style alliterative verse, it seemed like just the vehicle for a dragon story! | |

| Hi DrummerWench. I love your chapters. I don't how I misses this one but I'm glad to have found it. Hope you write some more soon. Kind Regards Galathil. Author Reply: I'm so glad you enjoyed them, Galathil! There are a couple story-seeds in my head, though finding the time to get them planted is a puzzle. Thank you for taking the time to comment! | |
