Sorry! Why don't you go ahead without me. Then next person to see this thread gets to pose the next question.

If you say so.

Who was Felaróf?

Eorl the Young's steed, father of horses.

Oddly enough, I just read your question yesterday, and just came to that passage in the book today!

What color were Tom's socks?

:nono:

My evil intent is to make you read all the literature related to Tom Bombadil in order to find out. Mwa ha ha.

And by the way... How can Tolkien call Tom "oldest and fatherless" and then call Treebeard the "oldest living thing that still walks beneath the Sun"?

That's something I still don't understand. I don't know Tom's origins at all. Some have postulated that he may be a Maia, but I don't believe so, not from the way the Elves refer to him (which they only occasionally do). And if he's not a Maia, then Treebeard is older.

As to his socks, we are not told. :)

I've read a lot of analyses about this issue, and the consensus seems to be that Tom doesn't fit into Tolkien's legendarium at all.

It's almost like the book has been hacked!

Well, that would explain why movie makers always leave him out. :(

I suppose you could say that Treebeard is the oldest thing that still walks beneath the sun, but Tom started his existence before there was a sun, and that would cover it. Sort of.

But yes, one of the books does say what color his socks are, so I'm still waiting.
:popcorn:

Actually I think they're green, but I haven't found it yet.

But Tom was all in clean blue, blue as rain-washed forget-me-nots, and he had green stockings.
I guess stockings are a sort of sock.

Oh wow. Now what was this thread again? :blackeye:

In the chapter, "Of herbs and stewed rabbit," what were the herbs Sam asked Gollum to look for?


P.S. Estelly? Haven't met that one before, but, meaning no offense, I'd rather not be called that. I generally don't like nicknames at all (it's an Elven thing, even if I'm not an Elf myself :) ). ED is fine, though, because I have to be distinguished from the Estel who's been here longer.
