If you want a short tale that is full of that Tolkien charm...here you go!

This is literally a bedtime story Tolkien told to his children of a farmer who unintentionally ends up on a dragon quest (much like a certain hobbit)
Still a lot of fun to read.

Sometimes simplicity can make a great experience.

Highly recommended if you enjoy fairy tales and myths.

A charming little tale! While the narrative didnt grab me, the typically Tolkien-esque intersections of myth, history and language are fascinating. Also, the illustrations steal the show
