It was a long two-hour drive but I’m Galadriel made it. I don’t know about you‚ but when given the choice between hanging around the house and making a thrilling voyage to Hobbiton‚ I’d go with option two.

He loves food‚ drink‚ and security‚ and he relishes his snug little hole at Bag End‚ Underhill. But as Gandalf says‚ there is more to Bilbo than meets the eye.

Often‚ we as humans tend to separate ourselves from stories and myths. If a story is fictitious‚ we immediately dismiss any possibility of relating and learning from it.

Many stories‚ especially in the fantasy genre‚ feature an object or objects with some great power. Often what drives the plot is the hero’s need to find the object before the villain and use it for good rather than evil‚ or if the object has been broken by the villains‚ to retrieve each piece that must be gathered from each antagonist to restore it‚ or‚ if the object itself is evil‚ to destroy it.
