| Oh, the Tree! How perfect. This was an absolutely lovely trilogy, Shirebound. All of them so vivid, insightful, and evocative. Author Reply: I'm so happy you enjoyed these. That must have been a joyous moment not just for Aragorn, but for the Tree itself. | |

| I wanted to review this here, too. I really like this very unique perspective, from the stones to the stars to the white trees - all 'living' things, and in Tolkien's world they may well have been awakened by the elves at some point - and know which peoples pass in the land. I love how the white tree knows it is a sign of new life and will last long, while the elanor know their part is nearly done. And the stone will last forever, though perhaps it will again fall asleep. A unique and original idea, Shirebound, and a nice treat to celebrate the New Year. Author Reply: I appreciate your lovely comments very much. The Professor's world is so infinitely inspiring, and I find myself thinking -- and writing -- about perspectives that I never thought I would. | |

| That was beautifully written, shirebound, especially the last chapter about the White Tree! I also loved the title showing the "main characters" of this story :) Thank you! Author Reply: Thank you, Andrea. This idea came to me so unexpectedly (and insistently), I just had to attempt to write it. | |

| Oh, very nice! I love the inter-weaving of the influence of Arda's higher powers, via Gandalf and Yavanna, in the protection, nurture and flowering of the white sapling. Author Reply: Thank you. This was the section I re-wrote the most times, and found the most challenging. | |

| A lovely vignette. The POV of the elanor couldn't be easy to write, but it seems very natural. The relationship of the Elves with plant life, from tiny flowers to the mallorn trees, is well-conveyed here. Author Reply: Thank you, Raksha. I really enjoyed 'seeing' through these eyes. | |
