tom bombariffic has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

I decided to look it up, and found out that "the adventures of tom bombadil and other stories from the red book" were PUBLISHED after the hobbit and LOTR, but before the Silmarillion. However, I think he did invent Tom B for his children, and so may not have actually published it until much later than it was invented, and similarly "the silmarillion" was his big project, the one that he really wanted published, but it wasnt published until years later. So from this I cant tell which he htought of first. I am currently reading a biography of him, so maybe it will say in there. We'll see. If anyone knows when he actually came up with the Ideas for Silm. or Tom B please say!
