Tales of the Enchanted Land

The cycle "Poems from the Scarlet Book" tells of the adventures of Tom Bombadil, a well-known character from "The Hobbit," and also introduces the reader to the magical world of Middle-earth: with dwarves, trolls, elves, and other strange creatures – characters from the legends of Old England, whom Tolkien's genius imbues with romantic and comic traits.

Also included in the collection is the wonderful tale "Roverandom," written by John R.R. Tolkien for his children in 1925. After the success of "The Hobbit" in 1937, it was prepared for publication but only saw the light of day in 1998, when the author was no longer alive.
