Larner · 18 October 2007 · Chapter 4: Pippin

Accidental poisoning, eh? Poor child! And he thinks the Elves came from his story book? How wonderful! A marvelous series.

Larner · 18 October 2007 · Chapter 3: Merry

I think the "Scattergold" title was applied to the wrong generation! Heh!

Larner · 18 October 2007 · Chapter 2: Sam

Ah, what that slate and slate pencil managed to set in motion! Yes, a Gamgee knows how to read and write, and it's proving right useful indeed! Heh!

Larner · 17 October 2007 · Chapter 1: Frodo

Perfect! From Elf and Dwarf and horse to pocketwatch and promise. So, Fosco wasn't a good invester, eh? Too bad, really. But Bilbo knows his cousin, and that if the watch is pawned, it will be to see to Frodo's needs. And the Elf and Dwarf will be friends in Frodo's world? Good!

Love the detective work by the Elves and their winllingness to aid our littlest lad.

harrowcat · 15 January 2007 · Chapter 3: Merry

Thank goodness Pippin finally came along. After Bilbo being the cause of much of Merry's 'generosity' it is highly appropriate that he helped to sort the resulting mess!

harrowcat · 15 January 2007 · Chapter 2: Sam

*g* Just the right way to get around the Gaffer! Loved this picture of him as the gardener and, of course, little Sam.

harrowcat · 15 January 2007 · Chapter 1: Frodo

Aw.. *sniff*. loved all of this and had to grin at the elf and dwarf!

Althea · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 4: Pippin

Thanks for these sharing interesting and very well-written stories. I very much enjoyed reading them.

Althea · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 2: Sam

This was lovely. It was a treat to see the Gamgee family all together. Little Sam reciting to his gaffer the gardening rhymes he had learned from Bilbo was precious and absolutely perfect for this story. I'm glad that the Gaffer came to realize that useful things could be learned from books and that Sam was able to keep the slate and learn his letters. Bilbo's gifts certainly do go beyond the surface.

Althea · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 1: Frodo

I truly enjoyed this glimpse of three-year-old Frodo. He was such a sweetie. Your explanation of Drogo's financial situation was very interesting and quite plausible. I love Bilbo in this story. It's wonderful to think that he had made provisions for Frodo even before adopting him.

Hobbitgirl · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 1: Frodo

"It's fwree!" Frodo proudly held up three fingers, "Like me – I'm fwree now!" *gets warm fuzzies* I like the way the little hobbits talk. So entertaining, and so realistic I can hear their li'l voices! Besides the fact that this is a well-written tale about little blue-eyed Frodo, my favorite, ;) I like seeing Frodo's parents interact with Bilbo. And of course who could not like the contrast of Frodo peacmaking with the little Gamgee's more violent battling? ;-D Wonderful.

"Cousin Bilbo! You brung me elfs for my birfday!" Again, delightful. I hope they got rid of the horrrid plant right away. it's true that the other three hobbits would have heard stories and tales from Biblbo about his fantastic adventures, but this has got me thinking that perhaps Pip could believe easiest, having so many encouragments. 'Course, being visited by "elfs" wouldn't hurt, either. ;) This series was a grand idea! Each was different enough to be interesting. Cozy slippers to writer and beta-reader!

Hobbitgirl · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 3: Merry

"The insistent childish voice was accompanied by a sharp rapping on the door; followed by the door opening and then a sharp rapping on Bilbo's head." This one made me laugh out loud. What a delightful little tale. Poor lil' Merry, trying to be so generous! And poor Bilbo. I know how it feels to innocently suggest something that young ones take entirely the wrong way. I wonder if the bit of deception on Bilbo's part was an influencing factor in Merry's later schemes...

Hobbitgirl · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 2: Sam

This is sweet and very fitting. It makes perfect sense than Hamfast would not take right away to book learning, but gives in when he realizes it's not just for gentlehobbits. I love how little Sam is respectful and cheery, even when his present is taken away. The writing is wonderful, the dialogue delightful. I enjoyed it very much!

Baggins Babe · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 1: Frodo

I loved all these chapters - so sweet to see our favourite hobbits as little ones. I liked the foreshadowing too, with little Frodo putting the elf and dwarf on the same horse! The Gamgees were wonderful and young Merry and Pippin so cute I want to take them home! Saradoc ranting and Rory full of admiration for the 'ship off the old block' made me roll up!

Obelia medusa · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 1: Frodo

*sniffles* This is the sweetest thing! I just love how you write baby Frodo, and getting Gamgees involved always makes me happy. What a lovely chapter. Can't wait to read the others... :)

Nessa · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 4: Pippin

Oh Mercy Me! Teary eyed. Sniff! LOVED EVERY WORD!!

Nessa · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 3: Merry

What can I say? Can't wait to read the next "gift" story!! :-)

Nessa · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 2: Sam

Yep, loved this one too...so nice to enjoy well written stories with excellent beta'ing!!!

Nessa · 14 January 2007 · Chapter 1: Frodo

Loved this chapter....so very cute and fluffy....LOVE THOSE HOBBITS
