No More Hobbits? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Unfortunately for hobbit fans, most Middle Earth 'history' seems to have been written from the elvish point of view. Hobbits apparently played no part in the great events of the First and Second Ages, which were chronicled by the Elves and later the Edain. The Hobbit and LoTR were told from the hobbit point of view, which is why hobbits are at the forefront of these stories. I wouldn't think the majority of Middle Earth's denizens knew anything about hobbits before Frodo's Quest.
