This story reminded me so much of the time our daughter left her small pillow on a train. We had great difficulty getting her to sleep without it. Finally we

Cute story! I can't believe the maid would let the prince's room get so dusty! It is funny, also, that Eldarion went to sleep with Shadowfax. I wonder how Bilbo would feel about Aragorn's son having a toy named after Smaug?

A delightful story, Linda, and one with which perhaps the Professor himself might have some sympathy. This tale, and your mentioning your own toy dog, very much reminded me of the story behind how 'Roverandom' came to be written.

Very cute story. I just adore the image of King Elessar Telcontar getting down on hands and knees and searching under the bed for his son's missing toy. And the ending, with King and Steward happily discussing their childhood toys, is marvelous.

There on the throne, grinning at them with finely carved jaws, sat Smaug.

An adorable story!

The original vignette was delightful, this more detailed one is even more so. Your version of Aragorn as a loving but harassed father is most enjoyable. And the men will be boys ending is most fitting.

poor Faramir, the last anchor for his king in hunting down a gragon *g*. Sweet and cute little story that stirred so many childhood memories. Thank you so much. Lai

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review .Faramir certainly gets asked to perform some unusual duties, but as Aragorn's friend as well as Steward,I don't think he minds.I'm pleased you enjoyed the story.As a young child, I had to have my favourite toy dog at bedtime.
