Farmer Giles of Ham/The Adventures of Tom Bombadil by J.R.R. Tolkien
4.0
If you are looking for a short, humble, fantasy story then Farmer Giles of Ham is your man. This is about a Farmer who becomes a hero after "defeating" a giant. Soon after, word of Farmer Giles of Ham's courage spreads and his life will never be the same again. This story is not connected with Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit but does involve creatures common in Middle Earth.
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil is however, linked to Lord of the Rings as Tom Bombadil occurs in the Fellowship of the Ring. These are presented in a series of poems, some which are included in The Lord of the Rings and some other ones. They give more scope to the character of Tom Bombadil which is rather interesting.
Personally, I preferred Farmer Giles of Ham to the Adventures of Tom Bombadil as I found the story format more exciting but that's just me as I am not entirely poem compatible. Both stories are interesting and a good read so I recommend this to all.
