I was probably the wrong audience for this, since I'm not a big Tolkien enthusiast, but I was curious. Turns out, this wasn't meant to be published, but this was Tolkien's gift for his secretary. I don't see the point of publishing a very short poem as an individual book. Baynes's illustrations are lovely as always, but this just seems more like her picture book with a couple of Tolkien's verses slapped on. I presume it's supposed to be the other way around, and Tolkien's poems are usually pretty average. Or maybe I just don't see what a hardcore fan would.
