lathspell has just left Hobbiton.
Well... it explains why the Elves are such bastards in his books. in 'Lords and Ladies' they are evil. And in other books such as 'A hat full of sky' the enemy is quite elvish.

Another note:
Pratchett has made a lot of direct or indirect comments about Tolkien's works. Names of people the principals in the story come across or simply a copied sentence. And sometimes a remark that's somewhat deeper, but does have a connection to Tolkien's works.

It's good reading them both
