Re: Tolkien Trivia
OK, what day is described by the following text:
" . . . the first day of the last moon of Autumn on the threshold of Winter."

Re: Tolkien Trivia
Michka, here is how Thorin obtained the name "Oakenshield," according to Appendix A in LOTR:
"It is said that Thorin's shield was cloven [during the Battle of Azanulbizar] and he cast it away and he hewed off with his axe a branch of oak and held it in his left hand to ward off the strokes of his foes, or to wield as a club. In this way he got his name."
Here's my question:
How was the game of Golf invented?

Re: Tolkien Trivia
I'm afraid not, MIchka. You'll need to look earlier in the book for this answer.

Re: Tolkien Trivia
alors,formidable, j'ai enfin trouvé:page 24 ''Une réception inattendue'',chapitre où l'on parle du grand-oncle vieux Took,Bullroarer(taureau mugissant),qui d'un coup de gourdin fit voler la tête du roi Golfimbul à la bataille des Champs verts, la faisant rouler dans un terrier de lapin;c'est ainsi que fut inventé le jeu de Golf
question: Que fit et où s'est rendu Gandalf en mai?

Re: Tolkien Trivia
'Bullroarer' sounds much better in French! 
Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West,

Re: Tolkien Trivia
Thank you for the good wishes, Michka! We don't celebrate May 1 as a holiday for workers here in the United States, possibly because we have a Labor Day and because the May 1 holiday is associated with communism in some minds. But since I'm a Catholic, I always enjoy May 1 as the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, which has even deeper roots!
I'm probably translating your question incorrectly; I don't understand the first part and the on-line translator was also no help. Here's the part I can understand: Who visited Gandalf in May? Is that the question?

Re: Tolkien Trivia
Gandalf a fait un voyage, qu'il raconte le 1er mai, lequel et qu'y a t'il fait? (est-ce plus clair? Je n'arrive pas à bien traduire, sorry)

Re: Tolkien Trivia
My translation skills are very old, Michka--from high school! But I'm finding it fun to try to do this. I think this is better:
"Gandalf made a journey, he tells us, on the first of May: where and who did he visit?"
"Gandalf made a journey, he tells us, on the first of May: where and who did he visit?"
