Lord David Alton has forwarded a charming link to a local television report in Lancashire about a special “hobbit day” at St. Mary’s Hall of Stoneyhurst College. The young students are decidedly cute as hobbits and the teacher dressed as Gandalf exhibits the apporpriate degree of amiable eccentricity. For lovers of Tolkien, I can safely predict that this will be the happiest two and a half minutes of their day. Enjoy!
