Bravo, Guinevere! Despite the few letters, those that were chosen (Tuor's K was a good choice!) did help give it away. Your turn now.

Thank you, Esty!
Really, I often profit from Tuor's more daring letter choices! Thank you, Tuor! "----/ --/ -----/ -/ ------/ ---/ -----------/ ----/ -----/ ------/ ---/ -------/ -------/ --/ ---/ ----/"

Well, in that case, how about "m"s to start?

I can recognize enough words in this quote by now, but though it sounds Tolkienesque, it doesn't seem familiar - I have no idea where it might be located. Since I know the other works pretty well, that leaves the "Father Christmas Letters". Should I look there?

Sorry for the delay!
I hope you haven't wasted time searching in the Father Christmas letters, because it isn't from there. It's in "Tales from the Perilous Realm"

Thanks for the clue - that does narrow things down!
*digs out the Tales and starts looking...*

...and E, please.
I don't know why I'm not finding this, though I've been searching in the "Tales" - it sounds like it should be in "Farmer Giles", but I've paged through that story without success.

I finally located it! I don't know how I missed it on my numerous skims of the story, but no matter.
It's the King of the Little Kingdom (sorry, I don't feel like typing all of his names and titles ), speaking of the sitizens of Ham after Farmer Giles' first victory over the dragon. Quote:
