“Where is Inkmoot?” you venture to ask. Inkmoot is not a place. It is a gathering of the dispersed Inklings-which does not happen often. But we have managed to make a fair number promise to come. We shall meet in a place we are able to meet; on the easternmost slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Central Virginia. We must be there April 13-15.
“‘Where is Entmoot?’ Pippin ventured to ask. ‘Hoo, eh? Entmoot?’ said Treebeard, turning round. ‘It is not a place, it is a gathering of Ents–which does not often happen nowadays. But I have managed to make a fair number promise to come. We shall meet in the place where we have always met: Derndingle Men call it. It is away south from here. We must be there before noon.’” – The Two Towers, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
