The Tolkien Treasury Collection 4 Books Box Gift Set Pack brings together four shorter works by J.R.R. Tolkien in one collection. The set spans a range of storytelling styles, from a tale created to comfort a child to verse and poems connected with the Shire.

Across the four books, readers will find a dog transformed by magic and set on a quest to put things right, a reluctant farmer drawn into unexpected events, a gathering of hobbit-verses from the Red Book, and a story centred on the making of the Great Cake for the Feast of Good Children and what follows.

Included titles

• Roverandom
• Farmer Giles of Ham

Synopses

Roverandom

Roverandom follows a real dog who is magically transformed into a toy. Forced to seek out the wizard who wronged him, he sets out in the hope of being returned to normal. The story was written to console Tolkien’s four-year-old son, Michael, after he lost a beloved toy dog on the beach.

Farmer Giles of Ham

Farmer Giles does not look like a hero: he is fat, red-bearded, and fond of a slow, comfortable life. His routine changes when a rather deaf and short-sighted giant blunders on to his land.

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil collects hobbit-verses from the Red Book. It also includes other poems that relate legends and jests of the Shire at the end of the Third Age.

Smith of Wootton Major

Smith of Wootton Major tells of the preparation of the Great Cake to mark the Feast of Good Children. It continues with the magical events which follow.
