Description
Here is the 50th anniversary of J.R.R. Tolkien's tale of the reluctant hero Farmer Giles. First published in 1949, this version shows the original (black line) illustrations by Pauline Baynes. It also includes (now published for the first time) the earliest written version of the story and Tolkien's notes for a sequel. It was originally a tale Tolkien told his children. Set in the Thames valley in the distant past, when giants and dragons still lived, Farmer Giles was actually quite unheroic. Through good luck and the help of his dog, horse and a magic sword, he scares away a giant and tames the wily dragon to become a rich hero. If you have the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books, add one more classic Tolkien tale to your collection! 127pp, hc. ~ Sara
