Fabulous tale of the days when giants and dragons walked the kingdom. Full of scholar's wit. - Sunday Times
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
By turns gay, prattling, melancholy nonsensical, mysterious. And what is most exciting and attractive about them is their superb technical skill. Professor Tolkien revealed in the verses scattered through The Hobbit that he had a talent for songs, riddling rhymes, and a kind of balladry. In The Adventures of Tom Bombadil the talent can be seen to be something close to genius. - Anthony Thwaite, The Listener
