"Tree and Leaf" by J.R.R. Tolkien

This book, which I acquired during the FOPLA sale on Saturday, contains a somewhat interesting essay and a fairy tale. The essay was ok for an essay on fairy tales. I read the first few pages rather carefully, then skimmed the rest. I was disappointed in the fairy tale itself. Nicely written, but rather dull. It did, however, have the atmosphere of a fairy tale, so that's something, I guess.
