false 7348 18 A new edition of Tolkien's Tree and Leaf, complete with his rare translation and commentary of The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, the Battle of Maldon. Fairy-stories are not just for children, as anyone who has read Tolkien will know. In his essay On Fairy-Stories, Tolkien discusses the nature of fairy-tales and fantasy and rescues the genre from those who would relegate it to juvenilia. The haunting short story, Leaf by Niggle, recounts the story of the artist, Niggle, who has 'a long journey to make' and is seen as an allegory of Tolkien's life. The poem Mythopoeia relates an argument between two unforgettable characters as they discuss the making of myths. Lastly, and published for the very first time, we are treated to the translation of Tolkien's account of the Battle of Maldon, known as The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth. Tree and Leaf is an eclectic, amusing, provocative and entertaining collection of works which reveals the diversity of J.R.R. Tolkien's imagination, the depth of his knowledge of English history, and the breadth of his talent as a creator of fantastic fiction. 2964258 book 1949 Tree and Leaf: Includes Mythopoeia and The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth total:394|5:125|4:136|3:107|2:25|1:1| 394 1541 610 11 3 0 false false Fri Jun 08 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun May 18 11:28:06 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 12:10:09 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sat Feb 09 17:30:27 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 17:49:51 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sat Jun 27 05:52:54 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 05:54:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 13 14:39:06 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 14:39:33 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Feb 02 14:37:17 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 05 08:40:02 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Apr 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Feb 16 07:40:46 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 16 07:40:46 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Feb 06 13:16:24 -0800 2007 Tue Feb 06 13:17:22 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Wed Aug 22 01:39:14 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 22 01:41:26 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Tue Mar 27 10:20:52 -0700 2007 Tue Mar 27 10:22:05 -0700 2007 myth.
