Hi Olorin,
Thanks for the reference nod, I just thought I'd throw in another theory to keep things lively y'know! But as I was about to edit my original link and post, the whole post got deleted somehow [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] heheh oh well, lose some...
Personally I found the idea that we(the reader) are linked directly to Tom very fresh and entertaining. I certainly wouldn't even mind wearing them crazy yellow boots if I lived and 'worked' where he did (not to mention all those surely fine times chilling out with Goldberry!) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
In a way I'm glad we will never truely know who/what Tom'n'Goldie are, as the riddle and wonder of it all is always more fun than the destination.
