R. R. Tolkien's most charming shorter works in one deluxe pocket-sized boxed set: Roverandom, Farmer Giles of Ham, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Smith of Wootton Major. Beautifully presented and built to last, this collection is a wonderful introduction to Tolkien beyond The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, showcasing his wit, warmth and gift for myth-making in miniature. It's an ideal gift for lifelong fans, new readers and collectors alike, and a handsome addition to any bookshelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach title in this set reveals a different side of Tolkien's storytelling. Roverandom tells of a real dog transformed into a toy, who must journey through enchanted lands — under the sea and to the moon — to find the wizard who can restore him; Tolkien wrote it to comfort his young son after a lost toy dog, and it remains full of gentle humour and seaside magic. Farmer Giles of Ham follows an unlikely hero — a stout, comfort-loving farmer — who stumbles into an encounter with a giant and, later, a cunning dragon, in a witty send-up of old English legend. The Adventures of Tom Bombadil gathers hobbit-verses and poems drawn from the lore of the Shire, brimming with jests, riddles and Tolkien's love of language and rhythm. Smith of Wootton Major closes the set with a tender fable about a blacksmith who receives a magical star hidden in the Great Cake, granting him passage into the Faery realm. Together, these four tales show the breadth of Tolkien's imagination, moving from playful adventure to sly satire to lyrical verse to wistful fable, all in his richly detailed prose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeluxe pocket-sized boxed set — attractive for gifting, display and collecting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour complete stories in durable individual hardback volumes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal introduction to Tolkien beyond The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for family reading, bedtime stories or classroom story time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lasting keepsake for any Tolkien fan or fantasy book collector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJ.

Tolkien's foundational mythology of Middle-earth, presented here in a special illustrated hardback edition. Edited and published posthumously by his son Christopher Tolkien, it gathers the ancient histories referenced throughout The Lord of the Rings. This edition is illustrated throughout in colour using Tolkien's own paintings and drawings, with the complete text printed in two colours. It is essential reading for anyone wanting the full depth of Tolkien's legendarium, from the creation of Arda to the wars against Morgoth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Silmarillion tells of the three Silmarilli, flawless jewels crafted by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves, which held the last light of the Two Trees of Valinor. When Morgoth steals the jewels and sets them into his iron crown, Fëanor and his kindred swear a terrible oath and rebel against the gods, abandoning Valinor to pursue him. What follows is centuries of war, doomed love, and extraordinary heroism against overwhelming odds. Alongside this saga, the book includes the Ainulindalë, Tolkien's creation myth, and the Valaquenta, describing the Valar and Maiar. These tales form the ancient drama to which the characters of The Lord of the Rings look back with reverence, and in which figures such as Elrond and Galadriel themselves took part. This illustrated edition pairs Tolkien's own artwork with his prose for a richer reading experience, deepening every subsequent reading of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, while standing remarkably well on its own for newcomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout in colour with Tolkien's own artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete text printed in two colours for the first time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides the essential mythological backstory to The Lord of the Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReveals the origins of Elrond, Galadriel, and the struggle against darkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA beautiful hardback edition, ideal for gifting or collecting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Christopher Tolkien from his father's manuscripts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJ.R.R.
