Synopsis
Venture into the imagination of J.R.R. Tolkien with these classic fantasies that dazzle and delight. Smith of Wootton Major "Like The Hobbit, this is first and foremost a goodtale--dense and engrossing, full of unexpectedturns. . . . It is both homely and haunting, and in its way, almost literally bewitching." -- The New York Times Book Review "A short prose meditation on the gift of fantasy, what it is, whence it comes, and what it means to the life and character of the man who receives it." --Paul H. Kocher, author of Master of Middle-earth Farmer Giles of Ham This short story is a delightfully ribald mock-heroic tale. When a "cunning, inquisitive, greedy, well-armored but not overly bold" dragon invades a kingdom, a most unwilling Farmer Giles is chosen to slay the dragon . . . a dragon who refuses to fight., Venture into the imagination of J.R.R. Tolkien with two hard-to-find classic fantasies Best known for his beloved works of fantasy The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien was also prolific in writing beyond the confines of Middle-earth. Paired in this volume are two short tales of enchantment and adventure that explore the craft of fantastical fiction in a way that only Tolkien could. Smith of Wootton Major: The last of Tolkien's fiction to be published in his lifetime, this is a haunting tale about a boy who unwittingly swallows a faery star, granting him the ability to wander freely between the mortal world and the land of Faery until he grows into the twilight of life and must make a difficult choice. Farmer Giles of Ham: An imaginative history of the distant past that follows the unheroic and entirely unwilling Farmer Giles as he attempts to expel a cunning but not exactly bold dragon from the borders of the kingdom., Two bewitching fantasies by J.R.R. Tolkien, beloved author of THE HOBBIT. In SMITH OF WOOTTON MAJOR, Tolkien explores the gift of fantasy, and what it means to the life and character of the man who receives it. And FARMER GILES OF HAM tells a delightfully ribald mock-heroic tale, where a dragon who invades a town refuses to fight, and a farmer is chosen to slay him.
