Frodo Lives! - a photo on Flickriver

Frodo Lives!

A LONG time ago, maybe 1972-ish? I belonged to the Tolkien club by mail! Kind of like Ralphie in "The Christmas Story," I waited for this "official" pin to come in the mail! I hadn't read The Hobbit OR Lord of the Rings until about that year and WOW! Did I love it!! I rather identified with Bilbo, of The Hobbit- having an accidental adventure and not knowing he actually DID have courage. I am like that often. But of course I loved Frodo, of Lord of the Rings! Frodo somehow understands that he has a part to play in the bigger picture that is only just unfolding for him. Aren't we all like that? IF we take up the challenge of life?! I think so!

If I was a book, I would choose Lord of the Rings, often erroneously called a trilogy- that was mere convenience for marketing, to make into three books.
