Hamfast Gamgee

From Free net encyclopedia

Hamfast "The Gaffer" Gamgee is a fictional character in The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. He married Bell Goodchild, with whom he had six children, including Samwise Gamgee. He was a gardener on the Baggins property at Bag End for many years. He was frequently consulted for his knowledge of root vegetables (generally over a pint at the local inn).

His son Samwise named one of his children after Hamfast. For that Hamfast Gamgee, see the list of Hobbits.
