![]() His publishers, Allen & Unwin, were interested, but asked to have a more substantial volume with a number of poems. He had already published a poem about “The Adventures of Tom Bombadil” in the Oxford Magazine for 16 February 1934, and he thought this might fill the bill if Pauline Baynes, with whom he had developed a good working relationship, provided illustrations for the verses. When Tolkien’s beloved maternal aunt, Jane Neave, asked him in October, 1961 if he “wouldn’t get out a small book with Tom Bombadil at the heart of it, the sort of size of book that we old ‘uns can afford to buy for Christmas presents” (as she is quoted in Bio 244), his correspondence with her and with his publishers (quoted or summarized in this new volume) shows that he at first envisioned a modest booklet in the manner of Beatrix Potter’s illustrated books for children. ![]() ![]() ![]() For private, luxury or air transfers, please contact our safari consultants after making your booking.

My content rating: YA (Nothing more than kissing shown, Sex discussed, Some teen drinking) Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary, LGBTQ+ You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour, David Levithan Read on to see what we thought of the book… This time, she gave me her thoughts first (which I was grateful for, since I had waited way too long to review-I really need to get better about that), and I responded.
