Rachel was transformed from reluctant viewer to die hard fan when she saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time with her younger brother on a borrowed video cassette tape. Now seven years later Rachel has never lost her love for Peter Jackson’s films, but has grown in her passion for Middle Earth, Tolkien’s works, and especially hobbits.
