In the Court of the High King  by Dreamflower 12 Review(s)

It's a good thing I read this *after* I'd already had dinner or I would have been salivating on my laptop. *LOL* I'm familiar with Goode Cookery and have used it myself when planning feasts for my own stories. *grin* Good to see Menelcar again and to hear how Pippin comforted young Sador during the siege. Looking forward to more.

Author Reply: Yes, Gode Cookery is a brilliant website, and I love it to pieces!

Menelcar, of course, is now Aragorn's Court Bard and will naturally be making appearances in this story. I was a little surprised at his introducing himself so early-- I'd just meant to have him sing. But he wanted to talk to the hobbits first.

Pippin comforting young Sador is from my Mathoms II story, "Will There Ever Be a Morning?"

How nice to see Menelcar!

Fascinating hobbit's-eye view of the feast. I figured you'd drawn from historical sources, knowing your attention to detail.

Mmmm, strawberry pie. We didn't get to go strawberry picking this year, and I'm very sorry about that!

I can imagine Pippin comforting the young messenger during the siege, generous heart that he has.

What fun!

Author Reply: Of course there's no doubt that Aragorn's Court Bard is going to meet the delegation from the Shire!

I love Gode Cookery! When I was still active in the SCA, I used some of their recipes for feasts. But it's so fun to check out the historical recipes and all of the hard work of redacting them has been done!

I was thrilled to see the feast end with strawberry pie-- of course it's not the right time of year, so I figure the King has *hothouses*!

And Pippin comforting young Sador is from my Challenge story "Will There Ever Be a Morning?" Yes, Pippin does have a very generous heart, doesn't he?
