After over two years of just wondering, I've decided to 'find out' what happened to Folco. I'm having a most fascinating time filling the blank spots in the history of the War of the Rings as it concerns the Shire! Interestingly, some of the things I'm 'discovering' fit in with suggestions made on this thread long ago. I've started writing a fan fiction about Folco; for those who are interested in reading my version of what happened to Tolkien's lost character, it's posted
here on the Barrow-Downs Fan Fiction forum. So far, only the prologue and Chapter 1 are there, but I will continue with the following chapters as I have time to write them.
