Sure--it's in my copy (copies?) of the paperback Ballantine edition. Mine are old-ish (70s); don't know if it's in the new ones.

I don't have my copy with me, but I'm quite sure it had Beagle's introduction. Actually, I had two copies, one from the late 70s, the other from the late 80s or very early 90s. They both had the introduction. Both published by Ballantine. The coverart for the 70s edition featured a painting of Bag End (I think) by Tolkien himself. I don't really remember the newer edition.

I hope that helps!

Oh thank you both so much! Now I'll try and track them down, it was just such a wonderful quote! Glad I asked for help :D
