Back to Middle-earth Month

Thank you! I, too, wonder how long he left those pages blank... and what he wrote in them when he returned to them. The first editions of The Hobbit tell a very different tale from editions published post Lord of the Rings. Like Tolkien, I rationalise this by saying that Bilbo did indeed initially write a false account in his memoirs, which he (or Frodo?) later changed. But in this story, Bilbo wasn't quite ready to do that, so I let him postpone the decision.
