I was introduced to tolkien by both my parents,they read me the Hobbit many times (my dad did a wicked Gollum voice)I loved it. my mother was a member of the Tolkien Society and went to Oxford many times as Éowyn (she even had a sword especially made for her). It was my mother that bought me my first copy of the LOTR trilogy when I was 12 and I've read it every year since,some times 2 or 3 times a year. I even did my Standard grade book report on LOTRs ( I got a gade B [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ). I only got a copy of the sil 5 years ago but I loved that too [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
