The Rabbit room at the back of the \"The Eagle and Child\" pub
Tolkien\'s Hobbit [...] and The Lord of the Rings [...] were first read to the Inklings [...]

J.R.R. Tolkien, C._S._Lewis and C.Wiliams [...]
and other friends met every Tuesday in 'The Eagle and Child' pub.
Do you remember 'The Eagle and Child' pub board?
The advetntures of the brave Hobbit (as small as a child) who was carried by the Eagle were first read at the Rabbit (compare "hobbit") room at the back of the "The Eagle and Child" pub.
Brief quotation
"He wondered what other nonsense he had been saying, and if the eagle would think it rude. You ought not to be rude to an eagle, when you are only the size of a hobbit, and are up in his eyrie at night!"
