Tales from the Perilous Realm: Roverandom and Other Classic Faery Stories

J.R.R. Tolkien, 2009

Overview

This volume gathers Tolkien's five acclaimed modern faery tales, presented with the same narrative skill found in 'The Hobbit'. Though often overlooked due to their shorter length, these stories are now collected to showcase Tolkien's mastery of storytelling for all ages. The collection includes 'Roverandom', where a toy dog journeys through an enchanted world; 'Farmer Giles of Ham', about an unlikely hero facing a dragon; 'The Adventures of Tom Bombadil', a verse collection of encounters; 'Leaf by Niggle', following a painter's quest for the perfect tree; and 'Smith of Wootton Major', a journey to the Land of Faery.
