A review by ellie_cripps
Tom Bombadills äventyr och andra verser ur Västmarks Röda bok by J.R.R. Tolkien

3.0

This is a fun collection of stories, excellently read by Derek Jacobi in the audio version I listened to, and I would say the 'and other verses' should be a little more prominent in the title. Tom Bombadil remains an enigma and you won't gain much from the stories if that's your aim, but I enjoyed Tolkien's angle that these are tales written by hobbits because it adds a little extra fun. I definitely enjoyed myself, it's like a set of relaxing folk tales that you might hear in any English town or village - which is almost certainly the point.
