In brief
Tom Bombadil is the host under whose roof the travellers spend the night. Goldberry, daughter of the River, describes him as Master: plants and creatures of the country each belong to themselves, yet he rules without fear and has never been seized in forest, stream, or on the hills. Unhatted, thick brown hair bears a crown of autumn leaves. He laughs, clasps Goldberry’s hand, and sees to washing, food, and rest by a hearth that smells of apple-wood before sleep is wished.
