Hobbits are to English as Elves are to .....eh...does anyone know??
Where do elves come from? I mean the ACTUAL myth of the elf?
Leprechauns come from Ireland, Gnomes are Germanic, and Trolls were created by the Scandinavians...but I can't find where the myths of Elves come from. Does anyone know or have any speculations? ~~Daegwenn

Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard. And he taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred. He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter, Bess, the landlord’s daughter, Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair" Highwayman Alfred Noyes |
