I had a question... When we met, you told me a cool story about how you had a letter from Tolkien about the family tree chart in the appendices, and the names of Merry and Pippin's descendents....where the publisher ran out of room at the bottom of the page? I was telling one of my students about it...then remembered I had forget what you had said the names were. Could you recount the story..as I think others would find it as charming as I did....(at least the apart I remembered...unlike the names).
As for recaptured-----woot! I am working on a long, long, long neglected update in celebration of the Hobbit. Now I must go read me some recaptured.
hope all is well and love the knitted hobbit cards.
