Carrūn has just left Hobbiton.

I was introduced to Tolkien by a childhood neighbor who read the Hobbit to me and her kids. At the time I didn't really remember the story but they lived on a Girl Scout camp so we had quite a bit of fun playing dwarves. She never got around to reading LOTR to us as the dad died of cancer & they had to move. I think from there the local librarian who was a friend of my moms saw me returning the Hobbit one day and handed me the other ones saying I should try them. At as it goes, history became legend, legend became myth...
