Brought to light by Treebeard in J.R.R.

Tolkien’s 1955 masterpiece novel,The Lord of the Rings, the Ents were anthropomorphic trees.

And the novel left many wondering where the female Ents had gone.

Tolkien addressed this in a letter.

In trekking through Fangorn Forest, Merry and Pippin encountered Fangorn himself, otherwise known as Treebeard.

The Hobbit duo eventually found out from Treebeard thatall Entwives had been lost.

Treebeard seemed very adamant that the Entwives had simply been “lost.”

It was as if half of their species had just disappeared one day.

War had passed over this land, which came to be known as the Brown Lands.

Tolkien thought this was especially the case if there was, in fact, an explanation.

In building the larger myth of Middle-earth, the unfortunate Entwives played a large part.
