Thanks, Child!
For 3 months I kept seeing that man's name every time I came to the Downs, and I finally got curious enough to look him up: nothing!
After childhood, he just seems to have dropped out of the Tolkien radar. I just wondered if he followed his older brother into academia, or what path he chose. Did he read early drafts of his brother's books, or think them so much "pish-posh".
Hmmmmm...wonder if any characters in LoTR or The Hobbit are based on a pesky younger brother? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
