[Quiet Man Cometh]

Does Bombadill show up in Silm at all? I've only read LOTR plus Children of Hurin, which I'm not sure totally counts but he did intend it as one of the three stories he had intended to tell in greater detail, accoring to the forward, and a wee bit into the Hobbit. I was supposed to read that one for my kid lit course but I managed to get away with the knowledge I picked up from the old cartoon. ;).

Actually, when I was researching a paper for my seminar course I came across one of Tolkien's articles from when he was a univerity professor. I still have it somewhere. I ultimately didn't use it but it was interesting for some insight into his idea of fantasy and the nature of monsters and such. It dealt with Beowulf among other things. Something on "Myth and Monsters" or something. I'll have to go look it up.
