Tolkien Library Store - Original Cloth Bindings - Fairy Tales by Tolkien

Farmer Giles of Ham, The Rise and Wonderful Adventures of Farmer Giles, Lord of Tame, Count of Worminghall and King of the Little Kingdom, by J.R.R. Tolkien.


This is his second major published work, preceded only by the Hobbit.
Originally published in 1949, this is the 7th impression of the 1st Edition, published by Allen & Unwin, in 1970.
A Near Fine book with original dustjacket (unclipped) in Very Good Plus condition showing a little tanning to the spine, and a bit of light soiling to the rear panel.

A few minor rubs to the folds, mainly at the top of the spine fold.
The dustjacket is not price clipped. The book has no writing or previous owners names.
The textblock is clean, bright and tight, without any foxing, top edge slightly dusty.
Two color plates by Pauline Baynes, as well as being illustrated on almost every page with her line drawings.

Highly collectable, this is a very nice copy for any Tolkien fans collection.
