C.B.’s Recent Updates

C.B. Lansdell and 1 other person liked Audrie Reads's status update Audrie Reads is on page 25 of 219 of Reflections of Lilje Damselfly: I imagine watercolor illustrations would accompany this story well. In my minds eye all the scenes are in watercolor with a soft ethereal edge, and it’s quite magical.

“It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face. He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would rather have stayed there in peace.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
