| Well, I have followed this through till the end, though, sadly, not leaving many reviews (forgive me). My favorite line was Tulip's - that naps don't count. I loved the finding of the slingshot in the cave; I loved Oak, and so many other things. I did enjoy it thoroughly. Very well written, a lot of fun, with enough anxious moments, and a good ending. Thanks for sharing this. Author Reply: I'm extrememly pleased to hear that you enjoyed my tale, and kept reading it right up until the end. Any and all FB, freely given, is, and always will be gratefully received. Thank you so much! | |

| Thank you again for this wonderful story! It was a good idea to list all the words again, for I had no idea that they were in Celtic AND Gaelic (and Elvish). Those two languages are fascinating, although I sometimes have no clue how to pronounce those words ;-) I'm always eager to read new "Tulip" stories, and I'm looking forward to more! Author Reply: Andrea, I very much appreciate your constant support through the creation of my tale! I'm so pleased you've enjoyed it and that you also like my wee Tulip! I really should post a pronunciation guide because those Gaelic words are not pronounced anything like they're spelled, lol. | |

| The brief look at the terrors and frustrations--and reassurances--known during the Time of Troubles is well done. And then at last Pippin is at home once more, and all rejoice that this is so. A most apt ending, and a joy to realized that Pippin actually met Eolande. Author Reply: Yes, I thought he should have the opportunity to meet Eolande. As ever, Larner, thank you so very much for all your generous comments! They have really meant a great deal to me. | |

| Wonderful reunion! Well, as someone pointed out before I think that Frodo might suspect something. Most of the other hobbits believe Paladin's explanation that Pippin has just a vivid imagination. But what about Esme? Like her brother she is gifted with "The Sight". Does she know that Paladin is lying? I am still fascinated by that stone and I would love to read more about it. P.S.: Happy belated birthday :) Author Reply: Hi Andrea! Yes, Frodo is very astute so I'm sure he suspects there is more to the picture. I think Esmie know her brother well enough to leave it alone. Heh, I like to think of a "lie of omission" is really a different kind of falsehood in a case like this! Thanks for your lovely comments and I hope you enjoy the upcoming epilogue as much! | |

| *sigh* Beautiful! "He couldn’t help being curious when Pippin had said very little about the whole experience and then appeared to be forgetting it altogether. He couldn’t say that made him unhappy." It is a wonder how children seem to do that. You think they've forgotten, but then haven't. "He supposed he would know the rest when the time came. The spirit of the oak had said it was so, and he had no reason not to believe in those words. What task of such grave importance did his son have to meet in his future?" It is so hard for us adults to wait, hehehe, we know how time flits by. Just wonderful Cathleen!! Author Reply: Thank you Pearl! I'm so glad to hear you liked it. Yes, the mind of a child is an extraordinary thing, isn't it? | |
