A Hunting We Will Go  by Linda Hoyland 5 Review(s)
Raksha The DemonReviewed Chapter: 4 on 8/17/2008
It is something of a comedown for the mighty Aragorn Strider Elessar etc., Heir of Isildur, Wielder of the Sword That Was Broken, King of Arnor and Gondor, and Faramir, Steward of Gondor and Prince of Ithilien, both great warriors and rangers, to be so cowed by their wives; but certainly an accurate reflection of married wife - you may have led thousands of men against the Dark Lord, but Valar forbid you come home to the wives with mud on your clothes!

Wonder if Eowyn spot-checked the Pelennor for dirt before riding forth to battle upon it. Of course, she was mounted originally, but Windfola ran away. No wonder Eowyn was nervous when facing the Witch-King - I suppose a proper Shieldmaiden doesn't get dirty!

Anyway, a funny chapter and a fine conclusion to this charming story.

Author Reply: Many thanks for making me smile with this much appreciated review. It is fun to occasionally write our great heroes as hen pecked husbands!Maybe Eowyn slew the Witch King because he got mud on her clothes?

They work hard to make the prince acceptable before returning him to his mother, but take no thought for themselves? Heh! Cute, Linda.

This is a delightful tale, Linda, and Eldarion is an adorable little boy. It's lovely to read happy stories where nothing terrible happens and Aragorn gets to enjoy the peace he helped ensure. I can't help wondering where Faramir learned to milk a cow! Is there another tale in this perhaps?

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you enjoyed the story,and especially young Eldarion,as I've little experience of small boys.I enjoyed writing a happy story for a change.If the Muse ever tells me about the cow,I promise I'll write it down!
