LOL That's one explanation I've heard. I'm sure there are a bunch of Tolkien scholars who have papers and essays and what not about the "Bombadil Question" each with their own theory. To tell you the truth, I've never given Bombadil this much thought before. I'm always trying to get to Bree!
Agreed. My current reading, though, is aloud to my kids and wife. My kids love Bombadil because he's funny, and my wife gets the warm fuzzies over Tom and Goldmoon. So I'm feeling a new appreciation for the guy!
Who's Old Man Willow? Is he a bad ent, or something else?
