J. R. R. Tolkien
Tolkien’s acclaimed modern classic ‘fairie’ tale, read by Derek Jacobi.
Leaf by Niggle recounts the strange adventures of the painter Niggle, who sets out to paint the perfect tree. But he senses that he will be snatched away from his work long before it is finished – if indeed it could ever be finished in this world. For it is in another and brighter place that Niggle finds his tree is finished, and learns that it is indeed a real tree, a true part of creation.
Written in the early 1940s at the same time as The Lord of the Rings was taking shape, ‘Leaf by Niggle’ is a passionate adult fairy tale about a man who has ‘a long journey to make’, thought to be an allegory of Tolkien’s own life.

Featured Article: Elrond—A Lord of the Rings Character Guide
If you love J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, then you know that all of the events of the story would be impossible without the half-Elf Elrond. Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell, lived in Middle-earth from the First Age to the beginning of the Fourth Age. It was with the help of Elrond that the evil Sauron was defeated and alliances were forged. Elrond is one of the most prominent characters throughout Tolkien's stories. But who is he and what is his story?

I bought this on Audible for a buck and some change. A fine investment, I listened to it twice. The narration by Derek Jacobi was perfect. All the stars!

Would you consider the audio edition of Leaf by Niggle to be better than the print version?
This is a short book, so I would have to say the audio edition is the better option.What was one of the most memorable moments of Leaf by Niggle?
Tolkien, doesn't like procrastination it seems. Many of his characters are unwillingly 'whisked' into their adventures and Niggle isn't any different. This became obvious when he is taken, unwillingly, to his adventure.What about Derek Jacobi’s performance did you like?
It's good for the time it was recorded and I feel the reader was good at portraying the characters.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I was expecting a simple little tale to entertain me for an hour. It turned out to be a truly great story with surprising depth.
I was fully engaged from beginning to end.
The narrator's performance was truly fantastic - like homemade buttercream frosting on this literary Cupcake.
