Maddie Chambers first read The Hobbit when she was 10 and then The Lord of the Rings about a year later. Since then, she has read the LOTR trilogy over 20 times.

When her twin sons were 1, she took a college course about “the importance of play” and at the end of the term, each student had to submit a toy. She first decided to make a little hill with a front door and call it Bag End, using her Warhammer scenery components. Then, Bag End took off and she kept trying to make it bigger and better!

The result is a complete Bag End “doll house” of sorts — with nearly EVERYTHING made BY HAND by Ms. Chambers herself!
