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unpublished short story which he expanded for publication, his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!
