In "The Wisdom of the Shire," Noble Smith sheds a light on the
life-changing ideas tucked away inside the classic works of J.R.R.
Tolkien and his most beloved creation--the stouthearted Hobbits.
"The Wisdom of the Shire "draws important lessons from "The Lord of
the Rings," "The Hobbit," "The Silmarillion," and other tales of
the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, and the many
residents of Middle-earth. Author Noble Smith shows how a snug
Hobbit-hole is actually just a state of mind and how even the
smallest person can have the valor of a Rider of Rohan. He explores
subjects dear to a Halfling's heart, such as beer, food, and
friendship, as well as more serious concerns, such as courage,
living in harmony with nature, and good versus evil.
How can simple pleasures such as gardening, taking long walks, and
eating delicious meals with friends make you significantly happier?
Why is the act of "giving" presents on your birthday instead of
"getting" them such a revolutionary idea? What should you do when
dealing with the Gollum in your life? And how can we carry the
burden of our own "magic ring of power" without becoming devoured
by it? For fans of Tolkien's books and their award-winning film
adaptations by director Peter Jackson, "The Wisdon of the Shire"
holds the answers to these and more of life's essential questions.
