Derek Caelin is writing a book

@benfulton Something that surprised me to learn is that Tolkien didn't consider the Shire to be an ideal that we should strive for.

"...Hobbits are not a Utopian vision," he wrote, "or recommended as an ideal in their own or any age. They, as all peoples and their situations, are an historical accident - as the Elves point out to Frodo - and an impermanent one in the long view."
