The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are finally together in a volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for readers young and old. Roverandom is a toy dog who, enchanted by a sand sorcerer, gets to explore the world and encounter strange and fabulous creatures. Farmer Giles of Ham is fat and unheroic, but - having unwittingly managed to scare off a short-sighted giant - is called upon to do battle when a dragon comes to town. The Adventures of Tom Bombadil tells in verse of ... |

Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services - as a burglar - on a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo’s life is never to be the same again.

Всяка година децата на Дж. Р. Р. Толкин получавали писма от Дядо Коледа, изписани с треперлив почерк и украсени с изящни цветни картинки. В тях се разказвали великолепни истории за приключения и пакости, за битки с гоблини и пиршества с елфи. За вълнението на децата допринасял и начинът на получаване на писмата - понякога пуснати през комина, друг път донесени от пощальона, а веднъж оставени в дневната до пресен отпечатък от заснежен ботуш. Всяка илюстрация, марка и плик, изработени лично от Дж. Р. Р. Толкин, представляват същинско произведение на изкуството и са поместени в тази книга заедно с пълния текст на писмата ... |

Под редакцията на Кристофър Толкин. Илюстрации: Алън Лий. ... Историята на Берен и Лутиен става основен елемент в еволюцията на "Силмарилион" - митовете и легендите за Първата епоха на света, замислени от Дж. Р. Р. Толкин. Той се завръща от Франция след сражението при Сома в края на 1916 г. и написва това предание през следващата година. Основен и непроменен елемент от историята е съдбата, която помрачава обичта на Берен и Лутиен - защото Берен е простосмъртен мъж, а Лутиен е безсмъртна елфическа дева. Баща ѝ, могъщ елфически владетел, е силно настроен срещу Берен и му възлага невъзможна задача, която ... |

Толкин, което се публикува за първи път на български език."Приказната страна е опасна, в нея има вълчи ями за непредпазливите и тъмници за прекомерно дръзките... Кралството на приказките е необятно, дълбоко, високо и изпълнено с какво ли не: там се намират всевъзможни зверове и птици; безбрежни морета и неизброими звезди; красота, таяща чаровна магия и вездесъща заплаха; радост и скръб, остри като мечове. Човек може да се смята за щастливец, че стъпките са го довели в това кралство, ала със самото си богатство и с цялата си необичайност то сковава езика ... |
