The Tolkien Reader by J. R. R. Tolkien

A collected miscellany of short fiction, poetry, and essays that showcases a range of whimsical and serious pieces—from light-hearted adventures and translations to poignant allegories—exploring themes of myth, language, storytelling, creativity, and mortality; together the works mix playful tales and scholarly reflections to illuminate the author’s imaginative world-building and views on the nature and value of fairy-stories.
