The Wisdom of the Shire: A Short Guide to a Long and Happy Life by Noble Smith

4.0

The premise of this book can be summed up by quoting Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit: "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." If we would walk in the ways of hobbits, elves, ents, good wizards and company, we might bear less burdens (or bear them more easily with the help of friends). It is the small joys and simple adventures of life that make it most enjoyable: walk more, sing more, relax more, enjoy the good green earth and share its bounty with your friends and family. A wonderful read before a fire on a cosy night in your snug hobbit hole. Filled with side note tidbits and fun facts about Tolkien and LOTR.
