Why this must be read: This a very enjoyable and believable tale of the Fourth Age in which two curious hobbits set off over the Sea in search of the sort of adventure their forbears might've had, and in doing so manage to create a legend of their own. The original characters and their journey are a delight to read and the ending's a gem.
He dreamed of a man clad all in shimmering silver. The man was beautiful, shining with an inner light the glory of which Tom had never before seen. His body was strong and his face youthful, but in his eyes were depths of age and wisdom beyond reckoning. There was grief in his eyes, too; a deep, ancient sorrow like that of the stones of the burial mound.
The man spoke, and his voice was low and musical. "Where are you going, young Perian? The great seas of Arda were not meant for the Little People."
"I would follow my cousin," Tom said. He clutched his hands tightly together to keep them from trembling.
"Your race is not meant to live across the Sea," the man said gently. "Return to your home, son of Samwise Gamgee; your place is in the Shire. Return there and watch over our Towers; that is your task in life, and no quest could be nobler."
"I beg your pardon, sir," Tom said nervously, "but I am not the son of Samwise. I am Tolman Fairbairn, son of Halfred."
The man smiled. "You are of the line of Samwise – a most noble lineage among your people. He passed over Sea, an honor granted to only elves and Ringbearers. He passed over Sea, but you cannot. Go back, Tolman son of Samwise. Go home."
