Dear Mr. Bear. May I again ask for your indulgence here for another off topic discussion? I don't know if, like me, you are a fan of JRR Tolkien's THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Have you ever seen or read of the fan movie BORN OF HOPE? This film is, IMO, a very good depiction of the story of Aragorn's parents Arathorn and Gilraen. The basic source is the first five paragraphs of "The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen" in Appendix A of LOTR. All interested persons have to do is go to the website of the same name (Born of Hope) to watch it.
Sincerely, Sean M. Brooks
