This three-volume set in the fantasy and mythopoeic genre presents a masterfully curated selection of J.R.R. Tolkien’s most enduring shorter works, combining heroic narrative, whimsical satire, and philosophical reflection. Volume I, The Hobbit, chronicles Bilbo Baggins’s reluctant journey into danger and treasure, instructing readers on courage, cunning, and the shaping of destiny. Volume II presents Farmer Giles of Ham and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, illustrating Tolkien’s command of parody, verse, and folkloric charm within a distinctly English landscape. Volume III gathers Tree and Leaf, Smith of Wootton Major, and The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, arguing for the moral and aesthetic power of fairy-stories, the sacred role of the artist, and the tragic dignity of heroism. Together, the set uncovers Tolkien’s broader legendarium beyond Middle-earth, offering collectors a balanced blend of narrative delight and literary depth.
