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.
