Gwaihir?

Ok no one has posted on this for a very long time and as I like hobbits I'm going to try and start it up again if no one minds.
Easy question so all can join.
What place in the Shire were hobbits afraid to enter?

The Old Forest? Not really in the Shire maybe...

Scary? ;) :D

OK but at least it was obvious.
Go on then - do better.

Hello NightKnight?

Oh, I thought Saucepan was right. Sorry!

Who were the founders of the Shire?

Marcho and Blanco Fallohide

Yup. :)

The Prancing Pony in Bree?

correct-o, Night-o

Two battles were fought in the Shire. Which?

The Battle of Greenfields and the Scouring of the Shire

The Scouring of the Shire wasn't really a battle. There is a more specific battle mentioned.

The Battle of Bywater

That's the one. Your go.

How many Sherriffs were employed in the Shire?

I believe there were normally 12, three in each farthing, but during Sharkey's rule there were many more.

Correct!

Who was the oldest hobbit to live, without "cheating"?

Would that be the Old Took then?

It would indeed.

Woohoo!
OK then, which hobbit did Elrond want to send home.

Pippin, because he was small. :)

Of course.
Your turn!

Incredibly easy, but I can't think of anything good at the moment:

Why did Frodo leave the last pages of his book blank?

he left them empty for Sam to continue with the writings.

Yup! :)

What did Frodo leave for Lobelia when he left the Shire?

The washing-up! :)

you are right! Strangely, I just love that little line in the book! :p

Evisse???

Hate to see a hobbit thread die. Thought I would kick this thread up with a new question.....

Who were "Grubb, Grubb, and Burrowes"?

The auctioners who were selling Bilbo's stuff.

Precisely.....

The floor is yours.

Describe most hobbits' hair.

Brown and curly?

Perfect.

Sirith???
