Elanor Gamgee is introduced as a beautiful infant, nearly six months old, whose rich golden hair recalls her mother Rose. In the quiet closing scene, she is placed on Sam’s lap, a small, living note of tenderness and hope in the Shire.

Description

Elanor is a beautiful hobbit baby, nearly six months old, with the soft, rounded build of an infant. Her most striking feature is her rich golden hair, which she takes after her mother Rose more than her father Sam. Her face and eye color are not specified; her presence is sweet and bright, unmistakably very young.
