A Merry Life  by Anso the Hobbit 25 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 2 on 5/17/2005
Ah, yes, Strider could very well be in the conspiracy with Gandalf, couldn't he?

Nice tying together of childhood and maturity.

Author Reply: Thank you! Yes I do think Strider would know how to make Merry exercise his hand. :)

Ah, I sense a conspiracy... Eomer, Elessar, Gandalf... surely Pippin is in on it, too, and Frodo? (And Sam, following his Master as ever) And let us not forget Gimli and Legolas, thinking up more letters that Eomer needs written...

Author Reply: LOL! Yes. The whole extended Fellowship (including Eowyn and Faramir and perhaps Beregond and Bergil too) would see to that the hobbits were healing nicely and of course the hobbits would look out for eachother. :)

Beautifully and realistically written! I remember that scarey feeling, first time wa-a-a-a-y up there on a horse's back.

And Stybba, just like the ponies at home... awww.

Author Reply: Yes. I remember my first riding lesson too. I never really rode much but I did a few months back and it was a bit scary when hand`t been on a horse for 7-8 years and when I did the last time it was just for a little while.

I really like how you keep showing that Merry's past experiences influence his present ones. And oh, that sneaky King! What wonderful therapy for Merry.

Author Reply: Sneaky Strider, indeed! He`s good at sneaking therapy into everyday things. :) Thank you.

That's a sweet story, Anso. It's nice to think that, with no hobbit company in Rohan, Merry's pony may have brought back to him happy memories of the Shire, and his cousins.

Author Reply: Thank you! Yes I think Merry`s pony would bring back great memories for him. I think Merry and Stybba had a special bond.
