Reseña del editor
A commemorative golden anniversary edition of Tolkien's classic book, including a new introduction, a map, a copy of Tolkien's unpublished short story which he expanded for publication, his notes for an aborted sequel, and the original first edition illustrations by Pauline Baynes. Farmer Giles of Ham did not look like a hero. He was fat and red-bearded and enjoyed a slow, comfortable life. Then one day a rather deaf and short-sighted giant blundered on to his land. More by luck than skill, Farmer Giles managed to scare him away. The people of the village cheered: Farmer Giles was a hero. His reputation spread far and wide across the kingdom. So it was natural that when the dragon Chrysophylax visited the area it was Farmer Giles who was expected to do battle with it!

Cloth. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 50th Anniversary Edition. Hardback. Farmer Giles of Ham. Repair to spine of D/J. Slight waterstain mark to back D/J. This amusing tale by the author of The Hobbit is set in the Thames valley of England in a distant and marvellous past, when giants and dragons still lived. Its hero, Farmer Giles, is actually quite unheroic, but through good luck and the help of his dog Garm, his grey mare, and the magic sword Caudimordax (or Tailbite), he tames the wily dragon Chrysophtlax and wins great wealth. Like The Hobbit and Roverandom, Farmer Giles of Ham was invented by J. R. R. Tolkien at first to entertain his children, then grew and became more elaborate. Its final version is for readers of all ages who enjoy a good story told with imagination and wit. This special anniversay edition reprints the text first published in 1949, togher with its original illustrations by Pauline Baynes which Tolkien thought to be a perfect accompaniment to his tale. It also includes, now published for the first time, the earliest written version of the story and Tolkien's notes for a sequel. 127 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
