Gaffer Gamgee is sure to know which hobbits have the best stories to tell of Bilbo's disappearance and his adventures and whereabouts since then.
'So you're here to collect stories about Bilbo Baggins, are you? Heard that I would know who to talk to? Naturally, you're correct. Give me a moment and I'll write you down a list of likely hobbits to speak to.
'Mind you, you'll need to catch them at just the right time. If they don't seem to have a story for you, check back on them in a while. If you want to hear every story, you'll need to have some perseverance!'
Speak to the Gaffer to obtain his list of hobbits likely to have stories worth collecting.
Read the Gaffer's Note.
Speak to the Gaffer, he probably knows who you should talk to first.
Follow this road from the Gaffer's out to the east and then turn south. Ted's standing just south of the Bywater Bridge.
Speak to Ted Sandyman to hear the first of the stories about Bilbo and his adventures.
All the hobbits have been spoken to. You should check in with the Gaffer once more.
