Birdland: you make a good point regarding nature and Tom. As with many other aspects of LOTR Tolkien brought a
particular 'Englishness' to his characterizations. Hence the 'humanizing' of 'natural' Tom.

Burrahobbit: you repetitive incantation of Tom's name does nothing to improve your argument, and if you actually believe what you say, you probably also believe the moon is made of green cheese.Moreover you are factually incorrect- Tom Bombadil was a Dutch doll belonging to Tolkien's sonMichael.
