The first time I tried to read The Lord Of The Rings, twelve year old me was stymied by the Tom Bombadil section. Took me a few goes to get through it. Now I'm older, I'm reminded of the hypnagogic prose of Dunsany or Mirrlees. So whilst I don't love the TB bit, I've grown to like it.
add a skeleton here at some point
