With a ping and a pong the fiddle-strings broke!
the cow jumped over the Moon,
And the little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the Saturday dish went off at a run
with the silver Sunday spoon.
Whence came all the good stuff on these pages? I could never have found them on my own, surely. Numerous industrous and immensely more clever folk than I have built websites full of many good things, including the photo galleries from which I so cheerfully borrowed. For your further enjoyment and exploration, I will here present links to Lord Of The Rings websites from around the world. A pleasant journey to you!
