Tree and Leaf

Tree and Leaf is a small book published in 1964 and containing two works by J. R. R. Tolkien:

• a revised version of an essay called On Fairy-Stories (originally published in 1947 in Essays presented to Charles Williams)
• an allegorical short story called Leaf by Niggle (originally published in the Dublin Review in 1945).

The book was originally illustrated by Pauline Baynes.

Both pieces were re-issued in the collection The Tolkien Reader (1966), and have also appeared in various subsequent collections.
