R. ~~Tolkien\|JRR~~ Tolkien]], but not published until 1949. It is a comedic tale about the adventures of a rather plump farmer and his dog Garm, set in [[The Low Middle Ages\|Mediaeval England]] but parodying the traditional picture of dragon-slaying knights of that era. Tolkien’s love of wordplay is strongly evident, especially with regard to place names, and the story is much lighter in tone than some of his other works. It was published in 1949 with illustrations by Pauline Baynes, which Tolkien famously said had “reduced [his] text to a commentary on her drawings”. This collaboration lead to a lifelong friendship between writer and illustrator.
