After their adventures in the Forest, and a brief stay in Tom's house, they set out once more.Īgain, their plans went wrong almost immediately. On the banks of the Withywindle, they were attacked by the malignant Old Man Willow, and their journey would have come to a swift end if not for the aid of a mysterious and powerful stranger: Tom Bombadil.

At this time, Frodo moved back from Buckland to Hobbiton.Īlthough Bilbo often referred to Frodo as his 'favourite nephew', he was in fact his first cousin once removed (through his mother), and also his second cousin once removed (through his father). He lost both his parents in a boating accident in III 2980, but he was close to his distant cousin Bilbo, and nine years after the loss of his parents, Bilbo officially adopted him as his heir.
