Welcome to "the pity of bilbo"

Welcome to our website. We have named it "the pity of bilbo" because we think this is a very essential part of the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. We will be posting issues and back-issues of the renowned newsletter The Dunedain. It has many wonderful themes such as friendship, mercy, and Divine Providence.
-Charlie Bak, MSA
Editor of The Dunedain

The perfect first quote for this blog is Gandalf's quote regarding pity.

Thank you Charlie.

Wow! I've already gotten three comments. This is wonderful! Okay, I admit that one of them was my own. Can you blame for an initial moment of insecurity? Anyhow, "Gandalf" will try to keep things rolling. Michael, Gandalf's quote on the pity of Bilbo is my favorite. In my opinion, it is what makes the story. Arwen, keep on perusing. "Gandalf" will have more to share with "y'all". -Charlie

Great insights to understanding Tolkien's knowledge of the Scriptures (on top of all he knew about the Mythologies of the World, in particular Northern European Myths!)
