Favorite story was definitely Smith of Wooten Major. I also really enjoyed his essay On Fairy-Stories.

Some of Tolkien's best writing in my opinion. Leaf by Niggle was pure fantasy and Farmer Giles of Ham a wonderful adventure. Both of these short stories are worth re-reading several times a year.

This collection of tales is not my favourite set of tales by Tolkien, although the intriguing narrative about Niggle and his neighbor "Leaf by Niggle" brought tears to my eyes.
The poems in the Stories of Tom Bombadil tickled my fancy, though I would like there to be a longer history of him somewhere... I fear my desires will remain unquenched until I write them or do some sleuthing through Christopher Tolkien's works, perhaps.
Overall, it was a fun bit of fancy, but not my favorite.
