<p>Badger-brock: The source provided to the quote was incorrect.</p> <hr /> <div>'''Bombadil Goes Boating''' is a poem written by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] and was published in ''[[The Adventures of Tom Bombadil]]''. It was closely related to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' as Tom shows that he knows much of the recent events in [[the Shire]] thanks to a figure from [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]]'s childhood:<br /> {{quote|He made no secret that he owed his recent knowledge largely to [[Farmer Maggot]], whom he seemed to regard as a person of more importance than they had imagined|The House of Tom Bombadil, The Fellowship of the Ring}}<br /> <br /> Tom even travels down the [[Withywindle]] to visit the Farmer and his family, singing and dancing late into the night. There was also a mock-scholarly introduction, in which Tolkien notes that not only did the [[Buckland]] [[hobbits]] compose poetry about Tom Bombadil, &quot;they probably gave him this name (it is Bucklandish in form) to add to his many older ones.&quot; But, he writes, &quot;they had as little understanding of his powers as the [[Shire-folk]] had of [[Gandalf]]'s: both were regarded as benevolent persons, mysterious maybe and unpredictable but nonetheless comic.&quot; <br /> <br /> [[Category:Poems by J.R.R.
