INKLINGS Q & A: What is unusual about Tolkien's story "Leaf by Niggle"?
A: This charming story was written in only a few hours, soon after Tolkien woke up one morning in 1942. By contrast, Tolkien spent years, even decades, on most of his other tales. Also, the story is both autobiographical and allegorical (see Tom Shippey's book), two genres which Tolkien generally avoided.
