I agree that this is a story that adults can enjoy, and I like it very much. So much sly humour and wisdom in there!
Tales from the Perilous Realm includes:
Farmer Giles of Ham
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
Leaf by Niggle
Smith of Wootton Major
Well worth buying, and if you've read those stories, you might want to look into the "minor works" quotes thread on the Quotes forum...
