Is that a Panzer Grenadier helmet on that furry little mammal?? Hmm... I think I'll prefer to believe that he is carrying the telescope from the "You could have searched for that!" picture. Much less threatening.

I've recently started reading Letters of JRRT, and it seems that at least one person thought the word Eldilla had been taken from the word Eldar - Tolkien himself! Maybe later he will talk more explicitly about the book, I'll let you know.
