Lalwende - I think you have a point in that the tone of HOBBIT is different than LOTR being that it was written as a childs book. I am not so sure I would compare that to Bombadil or describe the books as Bombadilish in tone. For myself, and I imagine others, Bombadil is one of the least favorite creations of JRRT and we were happy to see him excised from the films. For myself, I always loved HOBBIT and never felt the uneasieness or just plain being weirded out the way that Bombadil hits me.
