The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

I have many Herriott stories on tape.... I went through a long phase of listening to books on tape in the car, and these were formatted as nice short stories, so they worked really well on short trips.

I second the Herriot recommendation. His books are brilliant! There's four or five of them, wonderful stories. Be careful - if your daughter reads them she may decide to become a vet...

Yeah, those are the books. 4 for them.
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
All things bright and beautiful
The Lord God made them all
They are great for any age. Especially the story of the farting dog, and the one about hurtling down the hill, and the cow calving, and..... :) Ha Ha, LOL. Gonna have to go find it. I've got them all.

If they sound anything like they read, I am afraid I would have a wreck:), One time when I was reading the first one, it was at night, and I was laughing so hard I woke my husband up. It was hilarious.

Yeah a farting dog, originally owned by a very high class single lady, finally adopted by a man who had lost his sense of smell. I've got tears rolling down my checks now thinking of it. You've got to read them yourself. They are great family stories. James Herriot was an excellent story teller.
Becky
To: PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain
They are funny, and they are read by the actor that played Herriott on TV.

I was soooo tired last night. I almost made it the whole way through, but gave up just after Boromir tried to take the Ring from Frodo.
