Oh honey, just wait til you meet up with the 'Lady of the Golden Wood', Galadriel. You want power, you got it!!
I wasn't much interested in these books even 10 years ago when Sir SuziQ read them to our two oldest boys, but we're now reading them to our two younger kids (13 and 11) and I am enjoying them immensely. Tolkien writes so beautifully that it is a pleasure to read aloud. We have finished 'Fellowship' and had started 'Two Towers', but decided to backtrack and read 'The Silmarillion' to get the back story of Middle Earth and the lives of the Elves and Men. I'm not sure if some of it in icluded in the movie, or not, but just in case.... We can't wait for the movie, either!
Why does everybody ignore the fantastic power of Goldberry, the River's Daughter?
Shalom.
