Poor Madam Pince could do with some assistance. <br />As I recall, Savita, Rivendell was described as a place that was good if you wanted to work or read or just sit around. It would be a bit like living in an artist colony, I suppose, and there would be a great view and certainly a library, that would clinch it for me. Bilbo retired there, so I suppose it must have been a place where even a hobbit could go when Hobbiton got a bit much, with everyone gossiping about everyone else. But Bag End is certainly the nicest as a home. They did a great job of it in the movies!<br /><br />I wouldn't mind living at Will Stanton's house in The Dark Is Rising, the manor would be a bit big for me.

I'm not sure any ghost would dare to dine in your awesome presence - especially without an appropriately formidable 'encore' performance, far beyond the meagre rattling of chains, lined up! The poem is inspired and made me laugh, after I googled it, of course!
