Farmer Giles Of Ham by J.R.R. Tolkien
4.0
In honour of Read Tolkien Day today (March 25th), I thought I would read a short Tolkien story that I hadn't read before, and settled on The Farmer Giles of Ham.
It really was a delightful little fable. While it's written in such a way to be no doubt entertaining to children, it's also subtle enough and has enough wit to be appealing to adults (and, according to Tolkien himself, that his preferred audience would be adults despite having first written the story for children).
It really was a delightful little read and I'm glad I was able to pass my afternoon with it
