Another thing crossed my mind.
Who are the Ythlings from
Aelfwine of England in
The Book of Lost Tales: Part II
They have always puzzled me!
Where are they: the Azores, Madeira, Jan Mayen, Iceland, Bermuda, somewhere inside the confines of the Guarded Realm???
More importantly: WHO THE HELL are they? Men, Elves, Dwarves, Ainur, something else...Hobbits
? I can't wrap my mind to it.
