The adventures of Tom Bombadil and other verses from the red book - Starting September 18th 2021

[Saar The Book owl]

This adventure book tells of Tom's encounters with the River-woman's beautiful daughter, Old Man Willow, the Badger-folk, the ghostly Barrowwight, a lovely princess, trolls, dwarves, and legendary beasts. A delightful volume of 16 songs, rhymes and poems from the acclaimed The Hobbit. Illustrated.

First quarter - (view spoiler)['Errantry', the third poem was my favourite in this quarter. It used language so cleverly. (hide spoiler)]

Second quarter - (view spoiler)[Both 'The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late' and 'The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon' were fun poems. I could imagine them being chanted or sung in an inn in the Shire. (hide spoiler)]

Third quarter - (view spoiler)[The Gallery contained many original versions of the poems, along with text. I found this section a little less interesting. (hide spoiler)]

Fourth quarter - (view spoiler)[I really liked reading 'Tom Bombadil: A Prose Fragment' despite it only being three paragraphs long. I'd love to read a story collection were multiple writers used them as a starting point and then continued to pen their own stories. (hide spoiler)]
