  • Errantry by J R R Tolkien

    Errantry by J R R Tolkien
    Aug 16 2021
    I have taken the liberty of reading this lovely-sounding poem by J R R Tolkien, which it is claimed (he claimed?) was written by Bilbo Baggins. I have read it three times, which is my practice with these sleep stories. Still, you could put it on repeat to help you doze off. Sleep tight!
