This collection of poems and stories about the whimsical and powerful Tom Bombadil was originally written as a series of bedtime stories for his children. It was later published in 1962, and includes several other fantastical elements from Tolkien's world, such as the Old Forest, the Barrow-wights, and the creatures of the river.
While not as widely known as *The Hobbit* or *The Lord of the Rings*, *The Adventures of Tom Bombadil* is a delightful read for children and adults alike, offering a glimpse into the playful side of Tolkien's imagination.
