A commemorative golden anniversary edition of Tolkiens classic book, including a new introduction, a map, a copy of Tolkiens unpublished short story which he expanded for publication, his notes for an aborted sequel, and the original first edition illustrations by Pauline Baynes. Farmer Giles of Ham did not look like a hero. He was fat and red-bearded and enjoyed a slow, comfortable life.Then one day a rather deaf and short-sighted giant blundered on to his land. More by luck than skill, Farmer Giles managed to scare him away. The people of the village cheered: Farmer Giles was a hero.His reputation spread far and wide across the kingdom. So it was natural that when the dragon Chrysophylax visited the area it was Farmer Giles who was expected to do battle with it!

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Pauline Baynes (illustrator). International Edition. J.R.R. Tolkien's class children's story, published between <i>The Hobbit</i> and <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>.<br /><br />Farmer Giles of Ham did not look like a hero. He was fat and red-bearded and enjoyed a slow, comfortable life. But after inadvertently scaring away a rather deaf and short-sighted giant, Farmer Giles' heroic reputation spread far and wide. Unfortunately for him, when the wily dragon Chrysophylax visited the kingdom, it was Farmer Giles who was called upon to do battle with it.<br /><br />Like <i>The Hobbit</i> and <i>Roverandom</i>, <i>Farmer Giles of Ham</i> was invented by J.R.R. Tolkien at first to entertain his children, then grew and became more elaborate. Its final version is for readers of all ages who enjoy a good story told with wit and imagination.<br /><br />This edition reprints the text first published in 1949, together with its original illustrations by Pauline Baynes, which Tolkien thought to be a perfect accompaniment to his tale. It also includes the earliest written version of the story and Tolkien's notes for a sequel. International Edition. Seller Inventory # SONG0007542933
