Hah-- Gimli, le Faux Hobbeet. If he only knew. Edit: Much of LOTR was written "to" Christopher, and mailed to him as he fought in WW2. (Africa, wasn't it?) Since Christopher was always one of Tolkien's oral audiences as a child-- how many bedtime stories WERE there?-- it strikes me as quite natural that oral storytelling techniques and characteristics would percolate through Tolkien's writing: especially as he writes to his son overseas.
