The Harvard-based authors definitely intended their little tome for American audiences

...just based on all those classic American brand names, especially the junk-food names of the four main hobbits!

Farewell, friends! I hear the call.
The ship�s beside the stony wall.
Foam is white and waves are grey;
beyond the sunset leads my way.
Bilbo's Last Song
