Publisher's Summary:
In The Wisdom of the Shire, Noble Smith sheds light on the life-changing ideas tucked away inside the classic works of J. R. R. Tolkien and his most beloved creation-the stouthearted Hobbits.
Drawing on The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and other tales of Middle-earth, Smith shows how a snug hobbit-hole is actually just a state of mind and how even the smallest person can have the valor of a Rider of Rohan. He explores subjects dear to a halfling's heart, such as beer, food, and friendship, as well as more serious concerns, such as courage, living in harmony with nature, and good versus evil.
How can simple pleasures such as gardening, taking long walks, and eating delicious meals with friends make you significantly happier? Why is the act of giving presents on your birthday instead of getting them such a revolutionary idea? And how can we carry the burden of our own Ring of Power without becoming devoured by it? The Wisdom of the Shire holds the answers to these and more of life's essential questions.
Foreword by Peter S. Beagle
The Wisdom of the Shire is an idea whose time has unquestionably come...I'd buy it like a shot, give copies away to deserving friends, and keep it by the bed for bad nights.-Peter S. Beagle, award-winning author of The Last Unicorn
