''Tales from the Perilous Realm'' is a compilation of some of the lesser-known writings of J. R. R. Tolkien published in 1997 by HarperCollins without illustrations. An enlarged edition was released in 2008 with illustrations by Alan Lee. ==Contents== The 2008 edition includes: *"Farmer Giles of Ham", a short story about an English farmer who encounters a dragon. Tolkien's title page, written in Latin, is missing from this edition. Garm, originally drawn by Pauline Baynes as a greyhound, is drawn by Alan Lee in the 2008 edition as a mastiff. *"Smith of Wootton Major", another short story, set partly in Faerie and partly in the area near Oxford. *"Leaf by Niggle", a highly allegorical short story. *"On Fairy-Stories", an essay which discusses the fairy-story as a literary form and is usually published together with "Leaf by Niggle". *''The Adventures of Tom Bombadil'', a collection of poems claiming to be "of hobbit origin" (and the only item in the compilation that is directly related to Middle-earth and ''The Lord of the Rings''). *"Roverandom", a novella (longer than the others, shorter than ''The Hobbit''). The 1997 edition does not include "Roverandom" (which was first published in 1998) or the essay "On Fairy-Stories". It is also missing commentary by Thomas Shippey and the Alan Lee illustrations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tales from the Perilous Realm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
