Tales from the Perilous Realm

Often overlooked, J. R. R. Tolkien's short "faerie" stories are charming and suitable for all ages. Collected in an illustrated edition, these tales will take you to Middle Earth and other, unfamiliar fantastic realms. Meet a toy dog who becomes enchanted by a sand sorceror and travels the world meeting unlikely creatures. Meet Giles, an unheroic farmer who somehow battles a giant and then a dragon. Travel to the Land of Faery thanks to the magical ingredients of a special cake, follow the adventures of a painter trying to capture the perfect tree, and read many more adventures of Middle Earth's own Tom Bombadil, and the princesses, hobbits, trolls, and dwarves he encountered in his freewheeling life.
