A commemorative golden anniversary edition of Tolkienâ??s classic book, including a new introduction, a map, a copy of Tolkienâ??s unpublished short story which he expanded for publication, his notes for an aborted sequel, and the original first edition illustrations by Pauline Baynes.
A commemorative 75th anniversary edition of Tolkien’s classic book, including a revised introduction, a map, a copy of Tolkien’s unpublished short story which he expanded for publication, his notes for an aborted sequel, and the original first edition illustrations by Pauline Baynes. 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!
The editors of the best-selling rediscovered Tolkien novel Roverandom present an expanded edition of Tolkien's beloved classic Farmer Giles of Ham, complete with a map, the original story outline, the original first-edition illustrations by Pauline Baynes, and the author's notes for an unpublished sequel. Farmer Giles of Ham is a light-hearted satire for readers of all ages that tells the tale of a reluctant hero who must save his village from a dragon. It is a small gem of a tale that grows more delightful with each rereading.
A beautiful, informative book, illustrated with black and white and colour photographs. Sitting majestically atop the ridge of Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, St Giles’ looks imposingly down upon Scotland’s capital. It has been at the centre to some of the most significant moments in Scotland’s history and centre-stage to some of its biggest players. This book, based on new research, tells the story of Scotland’s most famous church from its foundation in the 1120s through the 17th-century Prayer Book riot, the writing of the Covenant in 1638, the execution of Montrose and Argyll, becoming the seat of the Order of the Thistle to the current culmination of an ambitious thirty-year renewal programme which has brought colour and light to a living church. St Giles’ is home not only to its own congregation but also to regular civic and national services, not to mention nearly half a million visitors a year.

Reviews of previous works by Neil S. Reddy -It is now clear that Reddy writes with a distinct panache and flair for the bizarre and we urge him to continue to woo us with his distinct style and imagination.Reddy invites you to dive head-first into his weird and wonderful psyche.Yet again, Reddy promises us fits of raucous laughter, shock and gasping smiles, as in Prepare for carnage, as Reddy is about to wave his creative wand.Reddy is now in fifth gear. This is on another level.Reddy certainly delivers in this genre and executes his imagination with dynamic precision.'This is a brave and audacious delivery of literary genius. There is never a dull moment in the execution of Reddy's creativity and we applaud him for it. He just knows how to affect us with his writing craft, no doubt about it, We never tire or feel disappointed with Reddy's linguistic choices.'
