 re your question on Ppins 'death'
Funny thing happened yesterday - After 66 years my Mum has finally decided to read the Lord of the Rings (after a fair bit of cadjoling from me) - She came round yesterday and saw me reading TT and it reminded her to update me on where she was in the book (it's taking her a long time!) - She told me she's almost finished, and just got past the bit 'where Pippin dies'. I had to turn away with a wry smile on my face!
