What's all this "row,row, Reepicheep", eh? You've totally lost me there. (Not difficult to do!)

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, by C.S. Lewis. Read it or you're a Newbie!

Hilde Bracegirdle · 07-10-2004, 08:22 PM

Ah, very good we cross posted, or edited. Reepicheep is a rather large and courageous mouse, if memory serves me right. And Prince Caspian is well, Prince Caspian.

AHA! Busted... never read any C.S.Lewis, though I always intended to. Looks like a trip to the library may be in order!

Lewis Carroll, though, and I'm golden!

'Tis always brillig at my house...

Hilde - Yup! That'd be the one. A Double Album: "This is the Moody Blues" I'm sure it's the same album because I heard yours and had to run out and buy one just like it... this was of course many moons ago, in a living room far, far away...

And the borogoves are somewhat mimsy, what with that stuffed Bandersnatch over the doorway to the shed!

Ealasaide · 07-11-2004, 05:07 PM

Ooh.. yes! Bagged that Bandersnatch m'self, I did! My vorple blade went snicker-snack and we had a wonderful Bandersnatch stew for dinner.

Jubjub birds and wights--

Once upon a tulgy thread there was a frumious discussion about how the slithy downs had changed over the frabjous unfolding years. Can anyone remember the title/ whereabouts/ instigator/ wabe/ SOMETHING FINDABLE of that vorpal thread? I have searched and searched.

I though it was Child, but that was the before&afterTheMovies thread.

I meet the entrance requirements ..... do I have to give the margins .... lol

Hey, Mithalwen! I was hoping that you'd sign up. If you meet the requirements-- Eighteen years of Tolkien in your life-- then you are in, lady!

Incidentally, there are many who share your admiration for Faramir ( 30 years ago, I would have had to fight it out with my bestTolkien-buddy who had claimed him already, so I settled on Eomer at the time). I am now, however, a Frodo-addict, as are others on this thread. But we try not to swoon, except over Balrogs.

What's your favorite personal Middle-Earth / Tolkien-story?
