TREE AND LEAF TP
About this issue

Fairy-stories are not just for children, as anyone who has read Tolkien will know. In his essay "On Fairy-stories," Tolkien discusses the nature of fairytales and fantasy, and rescues the genre from those who would relegate it to juvenilia. The haunting short story, "Leaf by Niggle," recounts the story of the artist, Niggle, who has "a long journey to make" and is seen as an allegory of Tolkien’s life.The poem "Mythopoeia" relates an argument between two unforgettable characters as they discuss the making of myths. Lastly, we are treated to "The Homecoming of Beorthnoth" which considers the wastefulness of war following the disastrous Battle of Maldon in 991.Tree and Leaf is an eclectic, amusing, provocative and entertaining collection of works which reveals the diversity of J.R.R. Tolkien’s imagination, the depth of his knowledge of English history, and the breadth of his talent as a creator of fantastic fiction.
