Happy Birthday, Tolkien!


How cool that Tolkien's birthday is STILL being celebrated by those nerdy enough to care? Today is just a day to give a nod of thanks to the great man who gave us:

  1. You know, I'd completely forgotten about Mr. Bliss. I want to read it again! Oh, and Farm Giles of Ham is sooo good. One of my favorite Tolkin books, actually. :D
    Yes, Happy Birthday, Mr. Tolkin!

    1. Wow, I feel so speshul. You left me a comment!! I know, I was looking up all these books of his, and I really wanted to read all his children's stories again. Roverandom, Mr. Bliss, the Father Christmas Letters... and Leaf by Niggle, which isn't exactly a children's story, but is absolutely beautiful to read, anyway. As is The Smith Of Wootton Major.

  2. I think Mr. Bliss might be the only Tolkien book which I do not own :-) I read Farmer Giles and Smith of Wootton Major yesterday.

    1. Isn't it, though? I love how he can switch between his adult books, and his children's books.

See my comment box? Want to know a secret?

*whispers* It's actually a TARDIS comment box! If you write long enough, you'll see... it's bigger on the inside!

Isn't that cool?

Now that you know that, aren't you going to throw a comment in there? You KNOW you want to. :)
