Er...actually, no. I'm just trying to figure out what to do with this.

Tales from the Perilous Realm is a compilation of "Leaf by Niggle", "Farmer Giles of Ham", The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (a collection of poetry), and "Smith of Wootton Major". Only one of which relates directly to Middle-earth. As far as I can tell it does not include "On Fairy-Stories", which is somewhat odd, as that essay is typically published with "Leaf by Niggle" as Tree and Leaf. It relates to The Tolkien Reader, a similar (but slightly different) compilation. I think it may be the UK version (although containng slightly different texts)—at least, I've only ever seen it at a bookstore in Canada.

I suppose "what I should do with this" consists mostly of saying that. -Aranel ("Sarah") 03:09, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone (perhaps someone who owns the book) know the actual publication status of Tales from the Perilous Realm and The Tolkien Reader? (The latter, according to my copy, was published in 1966 but has recently been reprinted in the U.S. I've never seen Perilous Realm—which seems to have been published more recently—except in Canada.) I suppose the fact that someone requested the article means that this is useful information to have. Also, I don't have "Smith of Wootton Major" (it isn't in Reader) so if someone else wants to offer a short phrase describing it... -Aranel ("Sarah") 03:34, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
