Tolkien was pleased that The Hobbit was being well received, though he suspected that the two glowing, unsigned reviews in The Times and the Times Literary Supplement were written by the same man.
There also also talk about a follow up book.
In a newly published portion in the 2023 revised edition of Letters, Tolkien mentions that his daughter (Priscilla) aged 8, has already distinguished “literary and actual terrors”, but also notes that they had to change the handles on Priscilla's bedroom furniture as the previous ones “grinned” at Priscilla.
