A Little Lost and Confused...
Aemilia

Okay, this has nothing to do with either of the movies, which is what everybody seems to be talking about, but I was re-reading the books, and re-awakened my question of who and what is Tom Bombadil? And Goldberry, for that matter? Goldberry said in the book that, "He is as you have seen him." Hmmmm, not very helpful. And Tom kept calling Goldberry the "River Daughter." Then there was that brooch that he found on the barrow-downs that had to have had a history of some sort. I keep looking for something that can ease my curiosity, but I have, no where, found a "History of Tom Bombadil and Goldberry." If someone knows something about this, please tell me!
