Story
Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable, is central to the enmity of two of the greatest powers in the world. Morgoth of the uttermost evil seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city of his Elven enemies, while the gods in Valinor refuse to support Ulmo Lord of Waters' designs to protect it. Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, and guided unseen by Ulmo he sets out on the fearful journey to Gondolin to warn them of their coming doom.

Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, was deeply opposed to Beren, and imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. Undaunted by Lord Thingol’s challenge, Beren and Lúthien embark on the supremely heroic attempt to rob Morgoth, the greatest of all evil beings, of a Silmaril, one of the hallowed jewels that adorn the Black Enemy’s crown.

Story
While on holiday in 1925, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach at Filey in Yorkshire. To console him, his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, improvised a story about Rover, a real dog who is magically transformed into a toy and is forced to seek out the wizard who wronged him in order to be returned to normal. This charming tale, peopled by a sand-sorcerer and a terrible dragon, by the king of the sea and the Man-in-the-Moon, went through several drafts over the years.

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!

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Publisher's Summary
Combined into one volume, this is the definitive collection of Tolkien's five acclaimed modern classic 'fairie' tales in the vein of The Hobbit, read by Derek Jacobi.
The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are joined here in one volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for listeners young and old.
- 'Roverandom' is a toy dog who, enchanted by a sand sorcerer, gets to explore the world and encounter strange and fabulous creatures.
- 'Farmer Giles of Ham' is fat and unheroic, but - having unwittingly managed to scare off a short-sighted giant - is called upon to do battle when a dragon comes to town.
- 'The Adventures of Tom Bombadil' tells in verse of Tom's many adventures with hobbits, princesses, dwarves and trolls.
- 'Leaf by Niggle' recounts the strange adventures of the painter Niggle, who sets out to paint the perfect tree.
- 'Smith of Wootton Major' journeys to the Land of Faery thanks to the magical ingredients of the Great Cake of the Feast of Good Children.
Taken together, this rich collection of work from the author of The Children of Húrin will provide the listener with a fascinating journey into lands as wild and strange as Middle-earth.

Thoroughly charming
This is the most charming book and Derek Jacobi makes it sing. His voice is so nimble and warm. I’m now off to listen to all of his narrations. Stories are also a balm for a listener: I love cowardly dragons and adventurous dogs and merpeople with an attitude. If your heart is in a need of a bit of a balm (and whose isn’t) this book is it.

Tolkien Rules!
I am very glad I decided to read other stories by Tolkien at 70 years old, after reading the Trilogy first time in 1960's and three times since. I enjoyed Tales of the Perilous Realm, very different from Lord of the Rings, but just as amazingly creative and never a dull moment. I would say it would appeal to children under 12 more than the Trilogy did. But I got deeply lost in the stories, and Derek Jacobi did a great job.

Enjoyable Tolkien short stories
This was just an enjoyable series of shorts well performed and written in Tolkien's simple, well-written, inimitable English storytelling style. Like Winnie the Pooh and so many English stories, this collection is just nice, good fiction with kind Christian morals deeply hidden in a satisfying story. If you like Tolkien, Narnia, Milne, and the gentler English fiction well worth the credit.

Audible, please start using chapter titles
This is Tolkien it’s amazing.
The narrator is fine.
But not including chapter titles on Audible products is getting so old. All you get is chapter 1, chap 2, etc. This is annoying enough on a normal book, but ridiculous on a compilation.
Please think this through Audible. It can’t be hard.
Still, it’s Tolkien. So only docked it one star.

Charming Selection of Short Stories
This collection of short stories is perfect for children, and even adults will be entertained. "Roverandom" was a tad too long for me, but the other stories are worth it.
I had been to a lecture on "Leaf by Niggle" and was intrigued enough to check it out. "Farmer Giles" was funny, as well as Tom Bombadil (would you expect anything less from him?). "Smith of Wooten Manor" was a surprise delight. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
Definitely recommend to read to the young'uns.

Loved it, the stories are every bit as captivating as you would expect from an Author such as Tolkien. The first story is truly amazing, reason enough to listen. The only slow part is story three, but, if you enjoy rhymes, you will enjoy that then too.

Unabridged?No title headings for start of tales
Ch 1 - Roverandum
Ch 11 - Farmer Giles of Ham
Ch 19 - The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
Ch 36 - Smith of Wooton Major
Ch 40 - Leaf by Niggle
Why no title headings for the start of each book, audible? It makes such a difference if you can easily navigate. You can do it yourself if you place a bookmark at the start of each and give them a name.
I'm not convinced this is the unabridged book. It seems to be just the main stories, nicely read by Derek Jacobi, with occasional bursts of appallingly irritating and pointless music that seem to have divided it for going on cassettes or CDs, as some are in the middle of nowhere, but give a break in the narration. The only introductory material is in the middle, at the start of Tom Bombadil, as though it has just been the main story of each individual book that was first recorded. With Tolkien, the introductions are usually quite informative, and often give details of the different variants on stories found in his notes.
The stories are J R R Tolkien, so always going to be good, though this has always been an odd combination, as Roverandum really doesn't fit with the others - it's a pleasing child's story. My favourites are the proper fairy tales - the final two, Smith of Wooton Major, and Leaf by Niggle, with Farmer Giles of Ham, nearly as pleasing.

No chapter headings
Nicely read, and great for Tolkien fans like myself.
Badly spoiled by the lack of informative chapter headings. A book of short stories would surely benefit from being able to jump to the beginning of any particular story, but the chapter headings are seemingly random with no detail at all.
A real shame to go to all of the effort of reading the book out and then not to quite finish it off

Tales from a perilous realm.
one of Tolkien's lesser known works,in truth I found it rather tedious but redeemed by the leaf by Niggle story and not without humour in fairness.
Derek Jacobi's voice also seemed absolutely ideal light and more than capable of expressing both the humour & when necessary the odd time of darkness .
I have mr. jacobi's Letters from Father Christmas also by Tolkien which I think is superior and well worth a listen especially at this time of the year.

First class reading
I'm a fan of Tolkien and this book gave me the chance to explore some of his less known work. They are tales for children, plus a few poems of Sam Gangee's style, and the best: Leaf by Niggle, which is a Christian allegory. Jacobi's performance is outstanding. It's a real pleasure to listen to him. He even manages to read Oliphant with aplomb. Bravo.
