Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. We do not know when Tolkien began to turn his thoughts to the Perilous Realm of Faërie. In his essay On Fairystories, to be found at the end of this book, he admits that he took no particular interest in tales of that kind as a child: they were just one of many interests. A real taste for them, he says, was wakened by philology on the threshold of manhood, and quickened to full life by war. Tom Bombadil, who had begun as the name for a child’s toy, got into print in 1934 as the hero of a poem, and then became perhaps the most mysterious figure in the world of The Lord of the Rings.

All of these but "Mythopoeia" are found in "Tales from the Perilous Realm. Having read them now, I realize how much I have missed before. Tales from the Perilous Realm" is an essential foundation for reading Tolkien's legendarium. The essay, which I recommend that one read first, provides the reader with an intellectual foundation to understand Tolkien's goals as an author and even more fundamentally, something of his view of man and of the world.
Tales from the Perilous Realm is an anthology of some of the lesser-known writings of J. R. Tolkien. In 2010 HarperCollins published Tales from the Perilous Realm as an audiobook read by actor, Derek Jacobi.

The definitive collection of . Tolkien’s five acclaimed modern classic ‘fairie’ tales in the vein of The Hobbit. Enchanted by a sand-sorcerer, the toy dog Roverandom explores a world filled with strange and fabulous creatures; the fat and unheroic Farmer Giles of Ham is called upon to do battle with the dragon Chrysophylax; Hobbits, princesses, dwarves and trolls partake in the adventures of Tom Bombadil; Smith of Wootton Major journeys to the land of Faery via the magical ingredients of. a giant cake; and Niggle the painter sets out to paint the perfect tree.
Tolkien writes with such care for his sentences that you can barely put the book down. The story itself is compelling as well, in two ways: firstly, one is simply enchanted by the story, wondering where it will go next, and feeling for Niggle; but secondly, and maybe most importantly, the reader is left wondering just what this story is representing.
