Guinevere is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
At the Tolkien Seminar in Jena I saw a new Tolkien Biography in German. I wasn't so much interested in the book (nothing new as far as I could see) but I love the portrait on the cover which shows Tolkien younger than on most wellknown photographs. I wonder when this was taken?

I've seen very few pictures of him as a younger man - in fact, only the one in the Carpenter biography which shows him 1916 in uniform with a moustache.
