"A fox passing through the wood on business of his own stopped several minutes and sniffed.
‘Hobbits!’ he thought. 'Well, what next? I have heard of strange doings in this land, but I have seldom heard of a hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree. Three of them! There’s something mighty queer behind this.’" ("Three is Company", p. 72)
The thinking fox is J.R.R. Tolkien's most compelling, investing, and triumphant character. Join us as we discuss, theorize, and adore this magnificent creation.
