I am late for Tolkien South Asian Week. Life is chaotic as of late, but I want to participate anyways. Here is my second contribution (because tumblr is not allowing me to post the first one, saying it needs a warn when it doesn't....please tumblr let me post it!).

As I was saying, the mother of this hobbit—of Bilbo Baggins, that is—was the famous Belladonna Took, one of the three remarkable daughters of the Old Took, head of the hobbits who lived across The Water, the small river that ran at the foot of The Hill. It was often said (in other families) that long ago one of the Took ancestors must have taken a fairy wife. That was, of course, absurd, but certainly there was still something not entirely hobbitlike about them, and once in a while members of the Took-clan would go and have adventures.

On those journeys Elwing did not go, for she might not endure the cold and the pathless voids, and she loved rather the earth and the sweet winds that blow on sea and hill. Therefore there was built for her a white tower northward upon the borders of the Sundering Seas and thither at times all the sea-birds of the earth repaired. And it is said that Elwing learned the tongues of birds, who herself had once worn their shape and they taught her the craft of flight, and her wings were of white and silver-grey. - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Voyage of Earendil and the War of Wrath"
