Folco Boffin - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Folco should have been in the story more. Does anyone else agree? It would have been cool if he had been in the Scouring of the Shire.

Greetings and solutions, Matthew2754! Welcome to the downs! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Goodness! I did not even remember Folco until I started reading FotR again!
Actually, it makes me wonder: why would Tolkien introduce a character and barely use him? It seems to me that he usually only created characters who do something useful. Indeed, I would like to have seen more of Folco.

See ya, [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
