…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

It has always been my least favourite book of the three...

THS truly is a favorite book of mine - - by which I don't even necessarily think it is one of the greatest works of literature that I have ever read, but that it connects with things that matter to me - - all over the place; and that when I return to it, I always have a sense of coming home.

Allow me to recommend Lars Walker's novel Wolf Time as a book that has some affinities with THS. For a time, at least, it was available for free reading at the Baen Books site. If not, it is worth seeking oput and buying. For me, it's been the kind of book of which I buy copies to give to certain people.

Incidentally Walker is a big admirer of THS. Not that Wolf Time is an imitation; but there is affinity.
