- BROKE: Are the giants mentioned in The Hobbit real, or just a literary flourish? WOKE: Did Tolkien encounter giants while hiking in the Swiss mountains at age 19?!
- A quote from Tolkien's 1961 letter about the inspiration behind the Misty Mountains crossing in severe weather in The Hobbit: his hiking trip at 19 with his brother Hilary, his aunt Jane, and their group that was about the same size as Thorin's company, mostly women. #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday
