Welcome to the first edition of the "2023 Upcoming Tolkien-related books” page.

Sadoc Burrows, Amazon Studio's "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" 

“Elanor Brandyfoot, with your father’s nose, and always poking it into trouble, you are far too curious and meddlesome to have been born a Harfoot. Are you quite certain you’re not part squirrel?”

“Time was when a squirrel could go from tree to tree from what is now the Shire to Dunland west of Isengard.”

– Elrond, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two Chapter 2: “The Council of Elrond” by JRR Tolkien

This is the first in a (hopefully) ongoing series called “Rana’s Lore: Astron’s Eggs” looking at lore and Easter Eggs within LOTRO.
