MIDDLE-EARTH TIMELINE
Tales from the Perilous Realm gathers in one volume Tolkien's shorter stories outside Middle-earth: Farmer Giles of Ham, Leaf by Niggle and Smith of Wootton Major, together with the poems of The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. Its title comes from On Fairy-Stories, where Tolkien calls the land of Faery the Perilous Realm.
HarperCollins first published the collection in 1997. A new edition in 2008, illustrated by Alan Lee and with an afterword by Tom Shippey, added Roverandom and the essay On Fairy-Stories.
