Delectable, most delectable! Everyone loves having dinner with dwarves, but maybe even elves, if they are Tolkien's ones :D

A delightful essay. Can you pencil in a future essay on Balin?

Sure, though can I ask why Balin specifically?

Apart from Thorin, and Gimli from LoTR, think Balin has the greatest story of all the dwarves.

Because he became lord of Moria? If so, I had thought to write about him after I had finished with the Hobbit, and start on the Lord of the Rings. But if you really want me to, I can get started sooner rather than later, and write at some length about the events after the Hobbit, and then later once more on the Silmarillion.

Don’t let me knock you off your planned route - I’m happy to wait. Of all the appendices to LoTR, the one concerning dwarves is my favourite.

I’ll look at the Appendices, could be fun. And you aren’t knocking me off any route but making a kindly request, could be cool to look into them. Thanks!
