Query: Better than average tales

Having never been a big fan of Tolkien's works, as I generally view them as wordy and dry at times, I was surprised at these tales. The Tom Bombadil poems were my least favorite in the collection, partially because I never cared much for the character. While not poor, these are the weakest of the four in this collection."Leaf by Niggle" was the best of the bunch with its a allegorical tale about life and death and what follows."Farmer Giles of Ham" was the second best of the bunch, the story of a farmer who is given a powerful dragon sword, named Caudimordax, for scaring away a giant. A dragon named Chrysophylax shows up and Giles is expected to handle the situation."Smith of Wootton Major" tells of a boy who is allowed to exit the real world to view the faerie world.The voices and sound effects in the CD set are very good, which is typical of many BBC Radio productions.
