Hobbit Height, once more
UT, The Disaster of the Gladden Fields, Appendix on Númenórean Linear Measures:
Quote:
|
The remarks [on the stature of Hobbits] in the Prologue to The Lord of the Rings are unnecessarily vague and complicated, owing to the inclusion of references to survivals of the race in later times; but as far as The Lord of the Rings is concerned they boil down to this: the Hobbits of the Shire were in height between three and four feet, never less and seldom more.
