I've been off ill for a week so I managed finally to get round to reading them I loved Farmer Giles but I found Leaf by Niggle a bit strange and confusing what do you guys think?

I loved Leaf By Niggle! I sat down and read the whole story in the library. I need to reread it, I can barely remember now, but I do know I liked it. It was chock full of allegory.

Kudos to Kitoky for the fabulous signature set, and art credit to engelszorn.

I loved all the three of them - you can find them in Tree And Leaf, along with the Lay of Leithien

I'm reading Farmer Giles of Ham and its pretty cool, though I'm at the part where he "fights" the giant.

Well, I just bought Tales from the Perilous Realm, so I'm just at the very beginning of Leaf By Niggle. I loved Farmer Giles of Ham, though--it was really interesting to read such a different style of Tolkien's.
