Maeglin has just left Hobbiton.

They are, They are, They are!!!

The dwarves are mentioned. And it was the Lilliputs I meanth because in the swedish verision of Gulliver's travels theyr'e names are "Littleputts" as I called them [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

I'm translating by my self from the swedish verision of the Hobbit.

*They are (or were) little beings, smaller than the dwarves (and without beards) thoe much larger than the lilliputs.*

Oki, that sentence didn't do very well in english but I translated litterarly.

Grrr... Ake Ohlmark is a terrible translator!!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

But was the hobbits compared with the lilliputs in the french verision too?
What is this??? Were Ake Ohlmark and the french translator friends or did evrybody have lilliput-mandness??? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
