Priscilla Tolkien's apology for taking so long to return the Ruth Draper sounds very like her father.

[@TolkienGuide]

Thought the exact same thing 😅

The animated film was my LotRs for many years as I was nearly 30 when the films came out. Think i first read Rings in the mid 80s.

Trotter is really small, Hobbit small indeed. The other guests don’t mention it. Stood up he can be no more than 15 inches tall. Either that or he has massive books that you couldn’t even pick up.
