Description
A poignant tale about an artist's journey, Leaf by Niggle is a story of obsession and creative struggle. A painter with many other things to do, he becomes fixated on one canvas - a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. As the painting grows, so does his sense of purpose. Written in 1939, this story was born from Tolkien's own experiences with writer's block. It is often seen as an allegory for the creative process and life itself. This elegant and haunting tale has been published in its own volume, allowing readers to appreciate one of Tolkien's most lesser-known short stories. Published to coincide with a new stage production, Leaf by Niggle offers a unique insight into the mind of a master storyteller.
