This is basically a collection of poems on many things and not just on Tom Bombadil. There were two poems about Bombadil that I liked. Rest of them were not that great - mostly about man on the moon(whom I did not like even in Roverrandom story), one on Oilphaunts and some other random poems. I am not a poetry person and prefer prose to poetry so I didn't really like this collection much.

A wonderful collection of poems with lots of interesting insights on the evolution of Tolkien's work over time. The poems vary in style, but have a sense of magical whimsy that connects them. The echos of medieval styles bring a sense of age to the poems, reflecting the Red Book as being of a time long before our own. Tom Bombadil still remains a mystery, but his secrets are not meant to be known.
