Happy Birthday, Bilbo and Frodo!

As I mentioned on Tuesday, this week is Tolkien week. Today, being the twenty-second, is Frodo and Bilbo Baggins’ birthdays.

Happy Birthday, Barbara Ann Cooper.  My Mum. My Mum lives in Australia, and believe it or not, she reads every single one of my posts, although some of them have to crisp the hair in her nostrils!  She also keeps every copy of every one of my books that I give her, but I know
