Lugbúrz has just left Hobbiton.

Tolkien, as a translator of the tales concerning the end of the Third Age, translated the Red Book of Westmarch into English. His role as narrator is visible in many places along the story.

The Red Book was handed from Bilbo to Frodo, who later left it for Sam to add onto. These three are primary authors of the tales that concern these times. When Sam departed, the book came into possession of his daughter, Elanor, who was in Westmarch, along with her husband. From then on the Red Book came into the family of the Wardens of Westmarch, and thus had their name added onto it.

If you come across the Red Book anywhere, be sure to let us all know. Tolkien must have hidden his copy safe and sound, away from Allen and Unwin. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

May his pipe still be full of weed.
