Tolkien quote of the day:

'Yet things might have gone far otherwise and far worse. When you think of the great Battle of the Pelennor, do not forget the battles in Dale and the valour of Durin's Folk. Think of what might have been. Dragon-fire and savage swords in Eriador, night in Rivendell. There might be no Queen in Gondor. We might now hope to return from the victory here only to ruin and ash. But that has been averted – because I met Thorin Oakenshield one evening on the edge of spring in Bree. A chance-meeting, as we say in Middle-earth.'

bullet A Proper Tale for a Baggins by Kaylee Arafinwiel Last Updated: 5/2/2019
This story is dedicated to Dreamflower, whose prompt inspired it, and from whom I took the idea for Bilbo's bedtime story.

(Characters: Bilbo Baggins, Bungo Baggins & Belladonna Took) Eleven-year-old Bilbo Baggins asks for a different bedtime story one night...
