Where do fairies come from, the creatures of imagination, and how are their stories made, how are fairy tales created? A true wizard of the pen, Tolkien, is revealed to us through an essay on fairy tales.
In a vivid manner, he introduces us to his stories from the "back door" and helps us explore and understand why people love fairy tales, why they seek to create their own reality through stories and beings that their imagination creates.
The essay is accompanied by the novella The Leaf of Niggle, which convinces us that the fairyland is all around us and its wonders are accessible to each of us, and by the short play The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, Beorhthelm's Son by J.R.R. Tolkien, inspired by ancient English epic texts that served as his sources of inspiration for the creation of Middle-earth's mythology.
