Oxonmoot 2024

Hey, come, Merry dol, ring a don-diló!
We all feel safe when we hear old Bombadil singing and jumping with his yellow boots and a trembling (swan's? kingfisher's?) feather in his hat. However... What is Tom Bombadil really doing the day he rescues the hobbits? Is there anything mischievous and horrific hidden in the Old Forest, apart from the Old Man Willow? Will we find ourselves face to face with the dark side of Iarwain Ben-Adar?
Come with me to the darkest side of the fairy tales Tolkien read as a boy, and let's discover a terrible monster posing as a kind and innocent figure together.
