Peregrin Took, known as Pippin by his friends, was the youngest of Frodo Baggins’ best friends. Smaller then the rest, he was very curious and often got himself into trouble.

But he proved his merit when he saved Faramir from death as Denethor became crazed in despair after Sauron’s deception was revealed to him. It was Pippin who risked death to find Gandalf in the burning Minas Tirith.

It was Pippin who represented the hobbits when the Army of the West stormed the Black Gates in a desperate gambit. Pippin slew a troll and then was knocked unconsious as the troll fell on top of him. Gimli recognized Pippin’s hairy feet and dragged him out, saving his life.

It was also Pippin and his best friend Merry who were the leaders of the hobbits who overthrew Saruman’s minions in the Scouring of the Shire. Together they raised the Shire.

Yes, Pippin was a very worthy young hobbit, indeed.

Little did Tearose Underhill or any of the hobbits in Breeland or the Shire know that members from their race would be the real heroes in the final battle against the Dark Forces of Sauron. Nor did she know that while she travelled through Eriador with her kin, simply called Unlimited, Elrond of Rivendell held a very important counsel and spoke these words:

“This is the hour of the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quiet fields to shake the towers and the counsels of the Great.”
