Very Nearly The Beginning...  by Grey Wonderer 9 Review(s)
Agape4GondorReviewed Chapter: Epilogue 2 on 7/15/2008
I've just found this delightful little tale... I love the idea of the Rabbit.

The Epilogue phrase about roasting by a forest witch was great! But I really hated Fred's threats! Nasty little boy...

Very nice tale - I'll have to read more of the Rabbit.



Author Reply: I don't know if Knitted-Merry is still on his vacation but just in case, I will reply here for him as I am very certain he would be pleased with your review.

KM has a way with words and his phrase about 'roasting by a forest witch' really was inspired! Fred wasn't at all nice and one can hope that *maybe* he grew out of that phase. Maybe.

KM, Errol, and I thank you for reviewing and most of the Rabbit's adventures are posted to Stories of Arda if you do decide to read more.

Awww! Mom sure knows how to cheer up her little boy. But that brother is so mean! He deserves for a witch to fry him. This was such a fun story, thanks for sharing it.

KM was happy to set everyone straight about Titch. He is pleased that you enjoyed the epilogue and he is hopeful that you will never become angry with him. Witches frying folks is certainly a serious type of revenge! It also takes a very big frying pan you know. Those are difficult to find.

Awww! Now that was lovley! KM, in all his magnificence, can spin a brilliant yarn! And Titch most certainly would make a good shephard with that gentle spirit of his. But...there is still that burning question that I've had. I think Errol/KM the Mag has more tales to tell than he's told already. ;-)

KM was very pleased with your review because you recognized his brilliance at once. He thinks you are very observant.

KM knows all of Errol's secrets or so it seems and if Errol doesn't soon fess up then I may just have to plead with KM and see if I can get more information from him. The Rabbit is very quiet about some things and, as you have mentioned, KM is brilliant at spinning a yarn.

If he weren't on vacation now then I am certain KM would thank you for having the very good taste to read his epilogue.

Marvelous! Oh, nasty big brothers! Mine could be like that! And like Tithemus better and better! Lovely!

KM was delighted to be able to give folks a better look at Tithemus' character and he is pleased that you enjoyed reading it. He enjoys reviews in which the word 'Marvelous!' appears. Thank you!

Nice epilogue!

Titch will be a great shepherd some day. He's a clever boy.
As for his brother ... well, I think he should not try to become a bowman ;-)

And we all know that the pretty girl took very good care of the bunny.

Thank you, KM for this magnificent chapter and thank you, GW for posting it.

P.S.: What would a story be without SHEEP :)

KM thanks you for your very perceptive review, Andrea and he is very glad that you enjoyed this epilogue. As to the sheep, well, as you may know, it is very hard to become a shepherd if you haven't any sheep. Tich really did need sheep for his story. Thank you for your review!

PS from GW, Sheep are always important to a story. I couldn't agree more.

A perfect epilogue, KM. Yes, the pretty girl will take good care of bunny . . . and so will a certain hobbit lad ;-)

KM considers you very clever for noticing the perfection of his epilogue. If he weren't away just now doing very important things, I am certain that he would enjoy thanking you for this review!

Aww...once Titch gets to take care of baby lambs, he'll--well, not forget about his bunny, but at least not miss him so much. And he was right about the bunny's new life with the "pretty girl".

And I have a feeling Fred and Bob are going to be in real trouble--Fred doesn't sound very bright, and I have a feeling his explanations about the bow are going to get a little tangled up...

Pleas thank KM for filling us in on this little epilogue!

KM did want to thank you for this review. He agrees that Fred and Bob aren't very bright but at least Fred did give Errol one of his many names.("If you dare to go back and get that bloody rabbit, ) A name that Knitted-Merry enjoys using for Errol from time to time, so perhaps Fred had a part to play after all? KM is certain that you will remember Errol's name badge from Scotmoot: Errol, that Bloody Rabbit! KM feels that Fred had one moment of brilliance at least.

How wonderful for KM to take time out of his busy schedule to write this terrific sequel! It's great that he and Errol are beginning to get on so well!

Titch is so sweet and I am relieved that he will be able to get off on his own soon with the sheep and get away from his mean brother and cousin! Loved the realism in the way that the boys interacted : )

Author Reply: As you know, KM is now over-seeing your vacation with Llinos and Knitted-Pippin so it seems that I have been trusted with his responses to the epilogue reviews.

KM thanks you for this review and the fact that you realize that he did go to some considerable effort to find time in his schedule to write this. I don't know this for certain, but I am guessing that Llinos will owe him a very big favour and so will Errol. I may also owe him a favour or two and I am hoping that responding to his reviews will count as a portion of that favour!

(Have a lovely holiday and don't get lost!-GW)

I am very glad to find a sequel to Grey-wonderer's story. I too was curious about Titch, and it's good to know he realized his bunny ended up in good hands. He's a sweet character.

KM felt that because he was the one that actually knew all about Titch, he should be the one to clear things up. If anyone else had tried to do so, they would have made a mess of things. He would like to thank you for this review which he did read before he left on his trip.
