The Making of a Ringbearer I: Adrift
by Henna Gamgee
A look at what Frodo’s life might have been like at Brandy Hall after his parents' deaths, and the events leading up to his adoption by Bilbo. Frodo is a quiet child whose good intentions sometimes get him into trouble. Saradoc and Esmeralda love him like their own, but something is missing from young Frodo’s life. Can a spirited old bachelor turn things around? The first part in my “Making of a Ringbearer” series, which is pre-LOTR.
