Resumen del Editor

Combined into one volume, this is the definitive collection of Tolkien’s five acclaimed modern classic ‘fairie’ tales in the vein of The Hobbit, read by Derek Jacobi.

The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are finally together in a volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for readers young and old.

  • Roverandom is a toy dog who, enchanted by a sand sorcerer, gets to explore the world and encounter strange and fabulous creatures.
  • Farmer Giles of Ham is fat and unheroic, but – having unwittingly managed to scare off a short-sighted giant – is called upon to do battle when a dragon comes to town;
  • The Adventures of Tom Bombadil tells in verse of Tom's many adventures with hobbits, princesses, dwarves and trolls;
  • Leaf by Niggle recounts the strange adventures of the painter Niggle who sets out to paint the perfect tree;
  • Smith of Wootton Major journeys to the Land of Faery thanks to the magical ingredients of the Great Cake of the Feast of Good Children.

Taken together, this rich collection of tales from the author of The Children of Húrin will provide the reader with a fascinating journey into lands as wild and strange as Middle-earth.

Featured Article: Elrond—A Lord of the Rings Character Guide


If you love J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, then you know that all of the events of the story would be impossible without the half-Elf Elrond. Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell, lived in Middle-earth from the First Age to the beginning of the Fourth Age. It was with the help of Elrond that the evil Sauron was defeated and alliances were forged. Elrond is one of the most prominent characters throughout Tolkien's stories. But who is he and what is his story?

Great storytelling and stories overall

I think Roverrandom is the best one of the tales, but overall all of them do have it’s charm and magic.

A great collection of stories

This is a great collection of short stories. Each story was enjoyable. Some will really help someone to laugh while others make one thing. There are some great lessons woven into the stories. It was a simple or listen.

Perfect for any age.

i believe someone should find a way to make these stories as popular as the classic greek mythology and Tolkien's other works.
they're every bit as deserving.

So much to enjoy

Derek Jacobi is one of my favorite narrators, and these stories by Tolkien are wonderful tales. It is easy to see the echoes of Tolkien's more celebrated books in this collection. Well worth it for any Tolkien fan!

Thoroughly charming

This is the most charming book and Derek Jacobi makes it sing. His voice is so nimble and warm. I’m now off to listen to all of his narrations. Stories are also a balm for a listener: I love cowardly dragons and adventurous dogs and merpeople with an attitude. If your heart is in a need of a bit of a balm (and whose isn’t) this book is it.
