If you like children's books from the 20s and 30s, this is a cute one, and fairly easy to get, as it wasn't published back then, but only in 1998 and since. The editors of the edition I read included lots of notes to help you recognize the references to other books and mythology that Tolkien loved to scatter through his writings.

If this had been published when it was written and if the author hadn't gone on to write Lord of the Rings, probably nobody would read it today. It's not the kind of great book that you read over and over. However it would make a really cute animated feature.

Oh yay! I looked in my copy of Tales of the Perilous Realm by Tolkien, illustrated by Alan Lee and I see that it is in there. I need to read this sooner rather than later.
