They crossed the mountains, colonising Bree and other settlements in Eriador. Many left these lands as the shadow rose and Greenwood became Mirkwood. So let us delve into a little Middle Earth history: Before evil came to Greenwood, hobbits lived on the plain of the Anduin between that wood and the Misty Mountains. Middle Earth historians (but not of course, these friends) will know that Gollum was a hobbit, or at least of hobbit kind. Sooner or later, that's the bit almost everybody remembers. ".and there was this slimy little being who sat at the bottom of a cave and solved riddles." (still not understood that this is Tolkien?)
".and there were those choir boys who went hunting pigs." ".and there were lots of nasty giant spiders." ".Bilbo he was called, Bilbo the Hobbit, the book was called after him." ".there was a funny little man who blew smoke rings with his pipe and always wished he'd never left his own dear little home."
"Didn't he win the Nobel Prize for that ?"Īnd then there were some (thankfully) who knew a little more. I tried to help out by naming The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings. When recently mentioning my membership of Eredain to a group of friends, some had difficulty placing Tolkien.
