Jen Rouse (United Kingdom) (2011/04/25): The book contains an excellent essay on the nature of fairy tales that is a must-read for anyone interested in them, paired with an enigmatic little fairy tale that some say is an allegory for Tolkien's life. There's also an introductory essay by Tolkien's son Christopher, and the book also includes dramatic poem "The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth", and an accompanying mini-essay. A great book for fans of Tolkien, fairy tales or myth and magic.
