This is a fun collection of poetry! There's a little something for everyone. There are the misadventures of Tom Bombadil in "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil" and "Bombadil Goes Boating".  Fans of light-hearted verse will like "Princess Mee" and "The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late". For those who like something darker, check out "The Mewlips".

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.
