Description

A 75th anniversary edition of Farmer Giles of Ham, featuring a revised introduction, a map, an unpublished short story by Tolkien, his notes for an aborted sequel, and original illustrations. Farmer Giles was not the hero type - he was fat and red-bearded, content with a slow life. Then a giant stumbled onto his land, and more by luck than skill, Farmer Giles scared him away. The villagers cheered: Farmer Giles was a hero. His reputation spread far and wide. When the dragon Chrysophylax visited the area, it was natural that Farmer Giles would be expected to battle it. This edition includes all the original elements that make this story so charming.
