Mad Baggins
After his escapades with Wizards, Dwarves and Elves - not to mention a particularly ferocious Dragon - Bilbo Baggins returned to the Shire with a share of the gold recovered from Erebor. Such an adventurous lifestyle was not approved of in the quiet Shire, and he came to be looked on as eccentric and unpredictable by his fellow Hobbits. They were proved amply correct at his 111th Birthday Party, where he used his Magic Ring to disappear into thin air, leaving his inheritance to Frodo Baggins. Even at that time, he was known to some as 'mad Baggins', but the name grew in significance over the years as the story of his life was slowly jumbled and rearranged, so that Mad Baggins eventually became a fantastical fairytale figure.

So what is this I hear about a previously unreleased Tolkien work to be published soon?
