The Red Book of Westmarch I

Favourite Excerpts from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil

A guest from the Mountains of the Moon coveted "Eating pearly cakes of light snow flakes and drinking thin moonshine".


Perry the Winkle has a fulsome tea with the Lonely Troll: pikelets, buttered toast, jam, cream, cake, tea, cramsome bread, bannocks.


Wouldn't it be nice to sleep on a "heather bed with pillows of owlets down"?

Only on Thursdays the Troll bakes his bread

And only for Perry the Winkle's spread.
