    Tolkien's Great Stories with Alan Lee Illustrations....Wonderful!

    So GLAD I bought this book! Have been reading Tom Shippey's book, "J.R.R. Tolkien Author of the Century" and there were so many references to these stories, Leaf by Niggle, Farmer Giles of Ham, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, Smith of Wooten Major. Naturally I wanted to read them all, found them in this really beautifully illustrated version. Illustrated by Alan Lee. What a bonus! I've read them all, reading them again, what a great book! Highly recommend!
