En børnebog skrevet og illustreret af J. R. R. Tolkien.
En hr. Fryd kan godt lide at gå med meget høje hatte, så hans hus har en meget høj hoveddør og der er højt til loftet.

Mr. Bliss's first outing in his new motor-car, shared with several friends, bears, dogs, and a donkey, though not the Girabbit, proves to be unconventional though not inexpensive.

I had no idea this book existed until I ran into it at a used book store the other day. I spent a minute going "Tolkien? *The* Tolkien? *That* Tolkien?," but I don't know that I've ever found a better book-related surprise.
'Mr. Bliss' is cute, amusing, and just a great deal of fun for any child or
The added dimension of being able to read it in Tolkien's own handwriting is worth a star all on it's own, and though the illustrations are hardly brilliant works of art, they're certainly better than anything *I* could come up with.
Anyways, if you love Tolkien, find this--it's worth the while of children and adults alike!

Tolkien fan--reading it ten minutes after I got it was certainly worth being caught with a picture book on a college campus! It's clever and full of imaginative little characters (I adore the girabbit--can I have one?), and details. The style is recognizably Tolkien, and Mr. Bliss is more than a little hobbit-like.The added dimension of being able to read it in Tolkien's own handwriting is worth a star all on it's own, and though the illustrations are hardly brilliant works of art, they're certainly better than anything *I* could come up with.

This is a great quirky little book by Tolkien. His illustrations are really quite good and I love his handwritten text. It was a bit of a surprise to see Gaffer Gamgee included here but it was a good one and a nice nod to Tolkien's future masterpiece. This book would be enjoyed by fans and non fans

This is a really cute book that Tolkien wrote for his children. It is fun and I loved the pictures he drew for it.
