Tales from the Perilous Realm

Tales from the Perilous Realm is a compilation of some of the lesser-known writings of J. R. R. Tolkien. It includes:
 * "Farmer Giles of Ham", a short story about an English farmer who encounters a dragon.
 * "Smith of Wootton Major", another short story.
 * "Leaf by Niggle", a highly allegorical short story often published in tandem with the essay "On Fairy-Stories" as Tree and Leaf.
 * The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, a collection of poems claiming to be "of hobbit origin" (and the only item in the compilation that is directly related to Middle-earth and The Lord of the Rings).

A similar collection, The Tolkien Reader, contains a slightly different (but overlapping) assortment of material.
