From the bookshelves 13, 14

    George Allen and Unwin Ltd published J. R. R. Tolkien in the United Kingdom. Pauline Diana Baynes, the well known book illustrator died in August last year. Farmer Giles of Ham: the Rise and Wonderful Adventures of Farmer Giles, Lord of Tame, Count of Worminghall and King of the Little Kingdom published 1949; this is an eighth impression copy from 1971. The Adventures of Tom Bombadil was first published in 1961; this is a sixth impression copy from 1972. Finding these sent me looking for Smith of Wootton Major, I know I have a small 12mo edition somewhere, and Tree and Leaf, an essay.
