Songburrow

From Frogmorton to Songburrow

Grand New Year’s Song

As the day gives way to evening, to Songburrow we all go
For the Grand Order New Year’s party, and the Hall is all aglow
With light from lamps and candles, shining bright in every room
Even our little mouse is happy, since we hid away the broom

Smeric Greenacre, unlike most Hobbits, did not live in a burrow. Instead he lived in the old windmill atop the highest hill in the village of Songburrow. The windmill was quite adequate for him; there was a small room at the top that he had made into a combined bedroom and parlour with a small round window that had views of the whole village. Down below there was storage space for his tools and seeds as well as ample space for a small larder.

Chapter I – Strangest is the news that comes unexpectedly

First that letter from the Hall and now some unexpected news. That business was a long time ago and it would have been best had it remained firmly in the past. Still, whatever my feelings about it the urgency was only too clear. I do wonder about this new fellow... probably nothing more than a coincidence but the link to the Old Fox troubles me greatly. Something is not like it ought to be here... but what exactly?
