Really love this story
J R R Tolkien at his best. And you can even see whispers of concepts within this tail reflected in later works.

A curious tale
This is an odd story, yet I find that I like it. Jacobi performs well. However, I much prefer the actual physical book with its mysterious illustrations.

Smith of Wootton Major
A nice little story gives one an insight into other facets of Tolkien - probably listen to it over and over again.

Enchanting
Quite possibly my favourite Tolkien story (besides The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit of course).

Little known magical tale
Will be enjoyed by children who like magical tales. A simple story about a cook, a cake and a star!
