A lot of fun.

Yeah.

All right, Sean, I think we've got time for at least one more before we take our first break.

OK, well, our third question today is going to come from Demay.

Demay, welcome back.

Hi, Demay.

Good to see you again.

I love those things.

I like this question a lot.

I think forcing us to really think about these concepts, and for those of you who might not be familiar with all of them, these all feature in On Fairy Stories.

So if you go back to episode one of the PPP where we look at that, or if you just grab that 19, was it 39 essay?

I think it was.

1939 lecture, 1947 essay.

That's what it was.

I keep thinking 39 because I remember it was like right after The Hobbit.

So you could tell that I think writing The Hobbit, there were some, as he might write later in letters, some regrets.

And that he thought, you know, now that I think about it, right?

And these are some things he could have done a little bit more of.

And then we see these concepts reflected more fully and more fleshed out in The Lord of the Rings.

You want to start first with Faerie?
