[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Leaf by Niggle is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read, not to mention offering an insight into a remarkable mind. Oi were fair choked, oi doan't moind tellin' 'ee.
I bought a book entitled Tales from the Perilous Realm, which contained Leaf by Niggle, Smith of Wootton Major, Farmer Giles of Ham and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, a slim volume that got me through a very nasty dose of the flu.
