“…Bilbo’s favourite, was young Frodo Baggins. When Bilbo was ninety-nine, he adopted Frodo as his heir and brought him to live at Bag End…’You had better come and live here, Frodo my lad,’ said Bilbo one day.” - The Fellowship of the Ring, Book 1, Chapter 1: A Long-Expected Party
In J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf warns the hobbits that they are not on a “hobbit walking party”, but Bilbo and Frodo must have enjoyed many such excursions in the twelve years they lived together at Bag End. Imagine setting out from the green front door on a summer morning full of promise with these two beloved hobbits. Birds are singing, and the dooryard garden is filled with snapdragons, nasturtians, sunflowers, hollyhocks, and seasonal wildflowers. Bilbo and Frodo have packed provisions for The Road, and if you bring home a museum-quality print of this original painting, you will get to decide where their hobbit walking party could lead to each day.
Where would you walk in the Shire? Over to the Green Dragon Inn in Bywater for refreshment and gossip? Down to the Woody End to cook supper over an open fire in hopes of meeting with marvelous elves in the starlight? Perhaps you’d hike the Green Hill Country and make your way over to Great Smials to spend a week with your Took relations? Or perhaps it’s the Lithedays and you’ll walk all the way to Michel Delving for the Free Fair on the White Downs. You can pick a different journey for the Bagginses every day and never run out of ideas.
