Purchased to have a printed copy of “On Fairy Stories” but stayed for the adorable stories. Smith of Wootton Major was a little dull but Roverandom made up for it. Also impeccable illustrations from Lee, as always

Ok, om eerlijk te zijn moet ik er nog 1 doen, maar dat zal waarschijnlijk wel tegen het eind van dit jaar zijn gebeurd ^^. De andere verhalen zijn alleszinds al erg leuk, heel typisch in de stijl van Tolkien (en dat is alleen maar positief :p).

Uitgelezen juni 2012.

(en ik heb eigenlijk ook 2 versies: de engelse en een nederlandse versie :p).
Titel Nederlandse versie: "Sprookjes"

Nice read to kick off 2024. Collection of light-hearted stuff and fairytales, was a bit dull at moments but I really appreciate his writing style.

I think it was just not the right time to read it.
