Tolkien Day~!

"I am personally immensely amused by Hobbits as such, and can contemplate them eating and making their rather fatuous jokes indefinitely; but I find that is not the case with even my most devoted 'fans' (such as Mr Lewis, and ? Rayner Unwin). Mr Lewis says hobbits are only amusing when in unhobbitlike situations." ~Letter 31 to C.A. Furth, July 24

*sigh* It's a shame he could not see what devoted hobbit-fans he would have in the future--we might have been given much more of the "eating and making fatuous jokes"!

I do like C.S. Lewis, but really, that was a definite lack of judgement, not appreciating the hobbits more!

I beg to differ. Hobbits are amusing in *all* situtations. :D
