First Edition
First American edition of Tolkien's classic work exploring the literature of fantasy and myth. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Tolkien's Tree and Leaf consists of two parts, the first: his lengthy essay On Fairy Stories, and the second: one of his earlier short stories, Leaf by Niggle. Like the later and more generous The Lord of the Rings, the latter shows Tolkien's mastery of the art of 'sub-creation', or the power to give fantasy the inner consistency of reality.
