Description

Farmer Giles of Ham is a charming tale about a man who, despite not looking like a hero, finds himself in the spotlight when a giant is driven from his land. The villagers hail him as a champion, and when a dragon appears, it's only natural that Farmer Giles is expected to face it. A new edition of this beloved story includes a previously unpublished short story, notes for an abandoned sequel, and the original illustrations by Pauline Baynes. This collection offers a unique insight into Tolkien's creative process and the evolution of his writing. With its unique blend of humor and adventure, Farmer Giles of Ham is a delightful read for anyone who enjoys a good story about an unlikely hero.
