Child of the 7th Age · 08-15-2004, 09:24 AM

Mater Fordim joined the Downs in February and has since been quite active on the site, notably in Books and the Shire. He recently taught a course on Tolkien and wrote an essay some years ago on the female characters in LotR: this shows that he has good judgement in his choice of topics. He has read and enjoyed the Narnia tales and knows David Lyle Jeffrey, a scholar who did a study on Tolkien as philologist. His first character on the Downs was a crotchety old hobbit, which seemed to fit his personality quite well. I could swear he said that he had a child. If I am mistaken in this latter "fact", I offer my apologies.
