Tree and Leaf is a small book published in 1964, 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.
