A new edition of Tolkien’s Tree and Leaf, complete with his rare
translation and commentary of The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, the
Battle of Maldon. Fairy-stories are not just for children, as
anyone who has read Tolkien will know. In his essay On
Fairy-Stories, Tolkien discusses the nature of fairy-tales and
fantasy and rescues the genre from those who would relegate it to
juvenilia.The haunting short story, Leaf by Niggle, recounts the
story of the artist, Niggle, who has ‘a long journey to make’ and
is seen as an allegory of Tolkien’s life. The poem Mythopoeia
relates an argument between two unforgettable characters as they
discuss the making of myths. Lastly, we are treated to the
translation of Tolkien’s account of the Battle of Maldon, known as
The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth.Tree and Leaf is an eclectic, amusing,
provocative and entertaining collection of works which reveals the
diversity of J.R.R. Tolkien’s imagination, the depth of his
knowledge of English history, and the breadth of his talent as a
creator of fantastic fiction.
