It certainly is, Heren. Give us another.

thanks :)

next one, than:

Said the cook in the inn where the man in the moon knocked on the door for
"fire and gold and songs of olk and red wine flowing free".
(Adventures of Tom Bombadil)

corrrrect :D

Thanks;

ps: Never heard that before, my message is too short! ??

Pardon? How do you mean, what message is too short?

as for the quote, that is Tolkien himself, about (alleged) Escapism inherent to fantasy and the people apt tp criticize it

Oh, I'm sorry, I just wanted to post the quote, and I got an error from the board that the message should contain at least 10 characters, never saw that before...

you were right of course! Proceed please...

I have ancountered the same feat of the board two minutes after I asked :)

next one:

Ah, at last a quote in this thread that I recognize! :)

It's from "Smith of Wootton Major" (which I recently have read for the first time) .
The smith says this to his son Ned, after giving back the star.

"The name of grandfather hasn't weakened my arm yet a while. Let the work come!"

correct :) over to you

Welcome, Guinevere! How nice to have you join us here! :)

Thank you for the nice welcome, Esty! :)
I haven't read all those minor works, but I keep trying ;)

That'd be Niggle about his Tree, when it was finished, but not finished with, o'course

Yes, exactly!
 

Probably all too easy for you... ;)

May be, may well be...

Well, next one to torment you with, [but]:

That was Prentice, speaking to Nokes, who was wondering what happened to the Faery star in the cake in Smith of Wootton Major.

yes, it was. proceed :)

I hope you can get this one right despite what it says...

Ah, tricky princess :smokin:

At first I thought that must have been either priest or any one other from the village known (in vulgar) as Ham to the smith of said village, concerning Aegidius A.J. Agricola's chain mail, but it proved itself to be Artaxerxes to Rover, when the latter was continuosly mispelling his name

Know thy wizards, HI! ;) That's the one.

we try harder
 

I will, your ladyship, I will

Next to try one's teeth on:

:) that was Smith (of Wootton Major) to the birch (which had lost all its leaves) in Faery!
btw this part leaves me rather mystified ... :rolleyes:

that's him

and yes, me too :)

Thank you Heren Istarion!

Max Müller referring to The Frog-King in On Fairy-Stories

Welcome back, Bruce!

*waves enthusiastically*

That's right !

** Hey Esty-lady!**

Nice to see you, Bruce :)

That was Tidwald to Torhthelm, trying to sooth his fear at imagined dangers of the now deserted battlefiled

Very astute there, H-I
Your turn

Thanks :)

next up:

The witch Corrigan is speaking to Aotrou:

precisely :)

Wishful thinking, weather-wise...

sounds a bit like Krumm talking to Oblina and Ickis (of "Aaahh, real monsters!!!" cartoon series) about garbage bin of sorts ;)

But indeed that is moon dog of Roverandom about cave of sorts

That's right, HI - and let's hope that we can say that about the Easter weekend weather!

let us hope indeed. It is nice and warm down here right now, let it extend :)

next one:

That's Aotrou speaking to Corrigan in The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun.

correct :)

Here's a new one:
