That first title is almost there,

How about,

Care for Growing Things—the Free Peoples and the Shadow
I love it, if not for a chapter title at least a section title. Thank you. It shall be done in honor of you.

Hee hee. Everyone here always has SOMETHING to do. As St.Paul says, pray unceasingly. ;) Having said that, I will throw my churchwarden into The Ring to make what I trust shall be useful comments.

The Natural World: Free Peoples vs Mordor (Orcs take such delight in trampling; good trees being felled by Saruman for the fires of Orthanc....I assume these are being covered in your chapter, amongst others.)

There and Back Again: From the Shire to Mordor and the Return of the Hobbits

The Long and Winding Road to Mordor  ( Ok maybe too close to an LOTR meets The Beatles, but this post is a brain-sturm und drang session :cowboy: )

Looking forward to your finished work, or whatever you would like to share before that. :popcorn:


Anyone who displays Robert E Lee and has familiarity with Tolkien is honored more than a brother. Thank you for taking the time. 

Nature, natural world, these do seem to fit better. Not just Mordor, not just orcs, but the whole history of vile creatures is covered. 

There and Back Again must be included in some manner. I don't think it will fit chapters but perhaps a section title can be spruced up by your suggestion.

Most kind. :cowboy: 

Yes, when speaking of evil, it goes right back to Melkor then Morgoth, Angband, Utumno. And things in the Second Age that are more foul than Orcs.
Your chapter titles will come to you I am sure the more you ponder on them, maybe whilst enjoying Old Toby and a strong tea. ;)

Not sure about Old Toby but strong tea is to my liking. In fact that is the best suggestion you have had.
