Podfic: Firimar

[altariel]

I'm on a roll. Firimar is a story by ithilwen based on The Silmarillion. It features Finrod Felagund, and it asks: Do the Elves in Aman ever look back at Middle Earth?

This is a gorgeous story, I hope I've done it justice. It is, I think, unique in being a Tolkien story that is also unambiguously science fiction. Thank you, ithilwen, for permission to record!

I'll have to check out those other stories.

I thought the sound was fine. I'm going to play it for my daughter sometime, too. I'll need to explain it a bit to her, because she doesn't know about the whole changing of the world thing, but from the films she understands that the elves somehow leave Middle Earth.

Thanks for the sound check, glad it was OK.

I hope your daughter enjoys it too. Has she tried the book itself yet, or is she lucky enough to still have that to come?

She's a lucky one. She's read The Hobbit but still has LOTR in her future.
