I mean, when I read the Lord of the Rings, I did not find it odd to find him there and after all, when Frodo asked ''who is tom Bombadil'', Goldberry did answer ''he is'' and after that she said -'' he is the master''. So if he is there, it is because he should be there. He is also called ''the ancient'' if I remember well but it does not disturb the story at all, even if we do not know where he comes from. P.s. I have enjoyed reading the article above. thanks. Hi, is it really important to know who Tom Bombadil is?

Tolkien's moral ideal doesn't seem too strong. Yeah I saw him as some kind of a Nature spirit… Tolkien’s moral ideal doesn’t seem too strong.
