Una bellissima fiaba che racconta dell'ambizione di un nome comune, un fattore, per diventare quello che nessuno potrebbe aspirare. 

Non credo sia il migliore libro di Tolkien ma è sicuramente una buona lettura leggera da aggiungere alla propria lista di libri.

Interesting story about a farmer and a dragon. I enjoyed reading it. It was a funny story, not very serious.

I deducted some stars because it seemed very easy to tame a dragon. It did not even put up a fight against Giles. That seemed unrealistic as the dragon could have easily won had it fought with Giles

Want a short story about becoming your towns hero? Well ask me Giles, he wasn’t born into the hero business. He just happen to fall upon it, and through a series of events maintain and advance his status

Won't read this again. Surprised Tolkien wrote this. Perhaps I simply don't find short stories very interesting.
