This looks like a fun place to be. I am excited to check it out. I have been in love with the works of Tolkien since my dad read Lord of the Rings to me when I was four! Of course he named me Eowyn so I can't imagine it really being any other way. I'm looking forward to getting to know many of you! Nice to be here.
Eowyn, Welcome! I think you will find many folks here who will wish you well. Just jump in and have fun. If I can help in any way please just ask. Again ...Welcome. Bear an Elf-Friend
ps: I started my daughter with Tolkien stories too!

Welcome, Eowyn! This is indeed a fun place to be. Your opinions and questions will help the forum to keep going, so do jump in wherever you find you've got something to say.
But, as an aside note: isn't four a bit young for LotR? Keeping track of everyone and everything is difficult for a grown-up as well, because the story develops on several narrative lines. The Hobbit looks to me like a better choice to start a 'Tolkien journey'.
