Child of the 7th Age is a guest of Tom Bombadil.

Nar --

The woman's name is Orual. It is no coincidence that this book was dedicated to Joy Davidman. She obviously had a profound affect on how he perceived women. Lewis does something with Orual that Tolkien does not even attempt. He creates a central character who is ugly on the outside and who must struggle to right herself on the inside as well.

Littlemanpoet-- You certainly were not speaking into a void. I also read and enjoyed your post, although I had nothing to add at that particular moment.
