A hand had scrawled at its head the words "Frodos Dreme". The author is unknown since it is most unlikely to have been written by Frodo Baggins himself.
The subtitle (which refers to his nightmares of March and October during the last three years of the Third Age) and connection to Frodo Baggins, represented the inherent distrust for the Sea, the 'wandering-madness', and anything that was not part of the Shire.
