Tolkien is my favorite author but

Bilbo's Last Song
by J. R. R. Tolkien

It's not fair to count this as a book, however, it's bound and cataloged as one so I will.  I agree with another reader who said there was no reason to bind it separately except to make a little extra money off the legacy of a dead genius.  But since it's in the kids' section, I'll let them have it.

Just a little poem composed by Bilbo on his way to the grey havens, illustrated with drawings from his big adventure.  I enjoyed the drawings.  People said it was a farewell to the friends and places of Middle Earth, but that is not true.  There is only one line of farewell and its as generic as a greeting card.
