Two bewitching fantasies by J.R.R. Tolkien, beloved author of THE HOBBIT. In SMITH OF WOOTTON MAJOR, Tolkien explores the gift of fantasy, and what it means to the life and character of the man who receives it. And FARMER GILES OF HAM tells a delightfully ribald mock-heroic tale, where a dragon who invades a town refuses to fight, and a farmer is chosen to slay him.

Smith Wootton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham
I ended up rereading this on a whim since these stories were included in Tales from the Perilous Realm that I borrowed off KU so I could finally read Roverandom and stop feeling like a bad Tolkien geek. These are great examples of the lighter side of fantasy that we don't really get anymore these days with all the grim dark flooding the market.
"Smith of Wootton Major" is a random little story about a fae star and a cake and a smith. It doesn't really have a point, but it's interesting despite its nonsensicalness and more of a serious tone than I remember. "Farmer Giles of Ham" follows the adventures and misadventures of a farmer named Giles, his cowardly dog Garm and all the stuff they get up to, with unexpected results. There's a witty, whimsical tone to this one, since it is a silly yarn, and full of colorful characters and creatures.
