2005 Author Reviews for
Garnet Took

What an awesome, awesome tale. A tender story that portrays the first days of Pippin's birth and a most special blessing not only by Gandalf, but by the Valar. The author gives special insight to Pippin's amazing and frightful beginnings, and then takes us to a place where we can see the effect his special tasks have lead him. Frodo and Merry's tasks were just as daunting; looking after and caring for a little hobbit cousin with a heart of gold, a bundle of ceaseless energy, and a zest for life. I love how she portrays Bilbo, Frodo, and especially Paladin. And she describes the disposition of a dwarf extremely well--she has all her characters down pat. A very well thought out tale, written with much love. Highly recommended for anyone who absolutely LOVES Pippin! ;-)
