I have read them both. And liked them both. But I think Farmer Giles is just hilarious. You should read the Tolkien Reader, it has all sort of neat poems and another story called Leaf by Niggle.

I haven't read Farmer Giles yet, but I read Smith of Wooton Major. Wasn't it great? I loved it! I got it from the library, but I need to buy it, as I know it's one of those stories I will read many times!!

Yaaaaa! I have read Smith of Wooton Major, and Farmer Giles and Tree and Leaf. They are all prety good. Tree and Leaf is kinda a bit wierd, but still good. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
