The *only* place to get early copies of TALES FROM THE PERILOUS REALM will be at Alan Lee’s bookstore events in October, as well as at Faeriecon — the very first place the book will appear in public. TALES FROM THE PERILOUS REALM will not be in wide release until November, so Alan’s events offer a very special opportunity for fans to be the first to get their hands on copies!
New Hampshire Ringers interested in learning more about the sources of Tolkien’s inspiration should check out the Poetry Society of NH’s celebration of the Kalevala on October 11. There’ll be poetry, music from the Maine Kantele, and Runeberg’s tarts and other Finnish pastries. It’s at 6PM at Artstream, 56 North Main Street, Rochester, NH. The event is free and open to the public. For more information contact poetrysocietyofnh@gmail.com

From Tamara: Well, they might not have been elven boats, but this past weekend, Boston Ringers held a moot at the Boston Public Garden to ride the swan boats together. TORnsibs celebrated Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday early this year, by picnicking in the park and practicing their Galadriel waves from the bridge over the lagoon. More pictures can be seen on the groups Yahoo page, onewhitetree. We are gathering again soon, so keep checking the TORn Moots message boards for updates.
