In Tolkien's story, 'Leaf by Niggle,' Niggle is a distracted sort, better suited to painting leaves than trees. One leaf, in particular, takes on surprising importance; it becomes a tree with fantastic roots and branches settled by strange birds. Behind it, a country opens up as the painting continues to grow. Niggle loses interest in all of his other pictures or else tacks 'them on to the edges of his great picture.' In similar fashion, J.R.R. Tolkien created his well-known Hobbit and Lord of the Rings masterpiece, taking characters such as Tom Bombadil and imbedding them throughout his own great picture. The 'Perilous Realm,' as he called it, eventually consumed the whole of his creative life. The stories and poems collected in this volume represent the pictures Tolkien did not tack onto The Lord of the Rings, though they hint at places he might have explored further. Included are Roverandom (the story of a dog turned toy who must quest to become a real dog again), 'Farmer Giles of Ham' (in which the traditional defeats the learned and new-fangled), 'The Adventures of Tom Bombadil' (poems concerning one of Tolkien's most beloved characters), 'Smith of Wootton Major' (the story of a child who swallows a star), and 'Leaf by Niggle.' Also included is Tolkien's seminal critical essay on fantasy literature, 'On Fairy-stories.' 403
