Title: Leaf by Niggle - best short story ever.
Review: This is the only book that has Leaf by Niggle, which is the best short story ever written by anyone, anywhere.It also has some poems that are not found anywhere else, such as Errantry, Princess Mee, The Man In The Moon Stayed Up Too Late, and The Mewlips, all of which I memorized as a twelve year old, because I liked them so much.The rest of the book is also very good if you like Tolkien's style and/or are interested in his thoughts. As a child, I also memorized his letter on page 74, which begins "Although now long estranged..." and which encompasses topics which challenge the oldest among us.As an adult, I still find Tolkien's works and thoughts compelling, though perhaps for somewhat different reasons than those of my childhood.The book is worth the price, if only for Leaf by Niggle and the letter on page 74.
Is the review positive or negative?
