A review by veelaughtland
Farmer Giles Of Ham by J.R.R. Tolkien

4.0

I was surprised that I enjoyed this as much as I did. Medieval settings and tales of knights and dragons are really not my thing. But this short sweet tale was entertaining and light-hearted enough for me to really get into it. In fact, the only downside to this for me was that the main character Giles was a bit of a dick who needlessly abuses his poor dog who idolises him. So maybe if you're reading it to your kids you might want to make a point about that not being an okay thing to do?? Other than that though this was fun and definitely a recommended read if you want something quick and adventurous but don't want to commit to Tolkien's longer works.
