Making this little book a piece of art, an unknown at the time; Pauline Diana Baynes provided J.R.R. Tolkien the illustrations to this pithy tail ---featuring most prominently, a dragon's tail (honestly), a King (of course), a (deaf) giant, a village of frightened folk, a dragon's treasure, and a farmer who finds himself in the middle of all this, not by dint of wit, wisdom, or even wager, but rather recruited and aided by chance (i.e., a dog, a horse, and a magic sword). Truly the stuff of all great tale/tails!
