Tales from the Perilous Realm

by J.R.R. Tolkien (1997)

About this book

Never before published in a single volume, Tolkien's four novellas (Farmer Giles of Ham, Leaf by Niggle, Smith of Wootton Major, and Roverandom) and one book of poems (The Adventures of Tom Bombadil) are gathered together for the first time, in a fully illustrated volume. This new, definitive collection of works -- which had appeared separately, in various formats, between 1949 and 1998 -- comes with a brand-new foreword and endmatter, and with a series of detailed pencil illustrations by Alan Lee.

Chubby Lewis, the timid but dauntless hero of *The House with a Clock in Its Walls*, returns in an even scarier tale of magic and mystery. Investigating the contents of Grandfather Barnavelt's ancient trunk, Lewis and Uncle Jonathan discover an old coin. Lewis hopes it's an amulet whose magic will protect him from bullies. Together with his new friend Rosa Rita, he performs a test to find the coin's power--but neither Lewis nor Rosa Rita is prepared for the astonishing and sinister events that follow.
