Published for the very first time in its own volume, Tolkien's remarkable tale of Niggle, a painter whose obsession with detail prevents him from completing his great work, is a captivating story of ambition and perseverance. Despite his struggles, Niggle is determined to finish his most ambitious painting: a curious picture of a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. As the painting grows ever larger, Niggle must embark on a journey that will test his commitment to his craft. Written in 1939, Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings was a reflection of his own struggles to bring his great work to a conclusion. Niggle's story is a timeless reminder of the power of dedication and hard work.

One morning, he awoke with the story of Leaf by Niggle fully formed in his mind and wrote it down. This poignant tale, about an artist on a mysterious journey, is often seen as an allegory of the writer's own creative process and life. Now, for the first time, Leaf by Niggle has been published in its own volume, allowing readers to savour one of J.R.R. Tolkien's most elegant, haunting, and least-known short stories. Coinciding with a new touring stage production of the story, this is the perfect opportunity to experience the beauty and power of Tolkien's timeless work.
