Adelard Took (Wd. "Resolute, Courageous", lit. "Noble-hard") (TA 2928 – 4A 2) was a Hobbit of the Shire, son of Flambard Took and grandson to the Old Took. He lived at Great Smials in Tuckborough, where he took care of the Took's library, and was the father of Hyacintha, Celia, and Florence Took.
He was a guest at Bilbo Baggins' Farewell Party, after which he was gifted an umbrella by Bilbo, as he had borrowed many and never returned one.
Notes[]
- Later editions of "Appendix C" of The Lord of the Rings emended three daughters to two.
