Anyway…
Good luck and have fun!
hope your schedule goes well! by the way, do you have a manager who looks after your schedule and keeps you on track?
Hi Carole,
I was just wondering which books by Tolkien you have read. I have read Roverandom, The Hobbit, Narn I Chin Hurin (The Children of Hurin) The Lord of the Rings, Tom Bombadil Farmer Giles of Ham, and I have started the Sillmarilion. Tolkien is my favourite overseas author, and you and Jackie French bein tied for favourite Australian author!
From Travis
Hi Carole,
I was able to attend your Digging through Libraries session on Sunday which was marvelous. Thank you for such an entertaining and insightful time.
I came away from the session very curious to read anything that you had written and so I purchased the Dragon Keeper at the book tent even though I am beyond the ‘younger reader’ demographic. I am just LOVING it so far. I certainly intend to read all of the books in the trilogy.
Thanks for your time at the festival, I am positive that I am not your only ‘new’ fan.
Kind Regards,
Karen.
sarah,
no I don’t have a manager. The publicist at black dog books, does some of the arranging, but mostly it’s just me.
Travis,
I have read LotR of course, at least five times, the Hobbit, Tom Bombadil, Farmer Giles of Ham, Roverandom, Smith of Wooton Major, The Children of Hurin and bits of the Silmarillion and Lost Tales that had to do with dragons (for my Dragon Companion). I’ve also read a couple of his essays. And a cute poem called The Dragon’s Visit which you can read here
That is a great poem Carole!! It would only be Tolkien to write something like that!
Karen,
Thanks for that feedback. I’m pleased that you enjoyed the session. And that you’re enjoying the books.
