This is basically a collection of poems on many things and not just on Tom Bombadil. There were two poems about Bombadil that I liked. Rest of them were not that great - mostly about man on the moon(whom I did not like even in Roverrandom story), one on Oilphaunts and some other random poems. I am not a poetry person and prefer prose to poetry so I didn't really like this collection much.

A wonderful collection of poems with lots of interesting insights on the evolution of Tolkien's work over time. The poems vary in style, but have a sense of magical whimsy that connects them. The echos of medieval styles bring a sense of age to the poems, reflecting the Red Book as being of a time long before our own. Tom Bombadil still remains a mystery, but his secrets are not meant to be known.

Anything by J.r.r. tolkien in my opinion is going to be amazing. This one isn't anything different. Love the flow of it, nice addition of making it poem like.

No soy de leer poemas, porque no me llaman la atención. Pero sean poemas o no, no deja de sorprenderme la imaginación y el vastísimo mundo que creó Tolkien. Solo por ahondar más en la Tierra Media merecen la pena. Y sale Tom, que es un personaje peculiar y misterioso como él solo que me gustó mucho leer en El Señor de los Anillos.
