Episode Notes

Good morning and welcome! Speak, friend, and enter the Bag End Book Club, a celebration of Tolkien's most famous and influential works. Every two weeks we will come together having read a handful of chapters and discuss the stories of Middle-Earth, from the Hobbit to the Lord of the Rings and further on to the Silmarillion. Stop a moment and enjoy some good company and better books.

Today's episode is just king things, baby! What does wisdom look like? How might a king treat his subjects? What is the place of women in fantasy worlds? All these questions and more will be answered...These chapters were so good, y'all. That took forever to type because I forgot Autumn has their keyboard set to some other country so the apostrophe key does other stuff...
