Listen as Tolkien reads The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, The Hoard, Perry-The-Winkle, and The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon. Also included is a reading of A Elbereth Gilthoniel in Elvish and "The Road Goes Ever on," sung by William Elvin with music by Donald Swann.

The voice of the master of middle earth himself reading poems and song he had wrote. Some of which appear in The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien’s reading is nice to hear.

Wonderful

Be aware it's not a story as such, but an old, scratchy, utterly delightful recording of Mr Tolkien himself performing his own poems and songs, including The Road Goes Ever On and On and a few bits of Elvish. A little bit of history.

Pretty special

Stunning recording of the man himself. Beautiful reading plus a profound performance from the wonderful Donald Swan from the Tolkien's wedding anniversary.
