But I remember them having a very different feel from each other, which isn't really surprising, I suppose, since I think Tolkein wrote The Hobbit for children and Lord of the Rings for adults. Or have I got that wrong? :)<br /><br />MarieMarie Treanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910679808761240343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100289630387595500.post-53135696945994784382011-05-26T00:00:22.300-07:002011-05-26T00:00:22.300-07:00Hi,

My oldest daughter is a big fan of the classics, Austen, Bronté and the such. <br /><br />Oh, I loved the Hobbit when I was a teen and it directed me straight to Lord of the Rings!!!<br /><br />Valerie<br />in GermanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100289630387595500.post-84821397409143228082011-05-25T13:15:40.388-07:002011-05-25T13:15:40.388-07:00Hi Jen,

(Though I must admit I never got into the Hobbit the way I did with the Lord of the Rings!).

I haven't read any recently but they are on my list. I hope to read them before my kids get to them in school. A modern classic that my son just finished is The Hobbit. He and I were discussing it yesterday and I think I have forgotten more than I remember! Time for a reread!Jen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04737375224830943067noreply@blogger.com
