Summary: Tom Bombadil goes a-courting... unsuccessfully.

I should be more sympathetic. Fatherless and motherless, he had no one to explain courtship to him but the seasons and the birds. At least he didn't boast about making his chest big and red.

Thank you for reading, anyway, and for taking the time to comment! It's always good to hear from people dropping by.

How lovely to see Tom and Goldberry during their courtship and not as the domestic couple from LotR; they wouldn't always have been that couple and this was a nice glimpse at them before they were 'domestic'.
