Leaf by Niggle by J.R.R. Tolkien

  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

4.0

A quick lighthearted story that reads a bit autobiographically of Tolkien trying to write the Lord of the Rings (or his fiction generally). It's a fable, so the characters are rather generally drawn but it has a beautiful message.
