I agree with whoever it was that said hobbitses were cross-breeds of men & dwarves. Maybe it was like this: a dwarf married a curly-haired woman, but all their offspring had beards on their feet not on their heads. Somewhere in JRRT's books it said that hobbits were smaller than the bearded dwarves. Or maybe a Vala made them as a mockery of Aule & Iluvatar. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
