Published for the very first time in its own volume, Tolkien’s remarkable tale about a painter whose obsession with detail prevents him from finishing his great work.
Niggle is a painter. Not a very successful one, partly because he has so many other things to do. For some time he has been obsessed with one particular canvas – a curious picture of a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. The painting keeps getting bigger and bigger, but Niggle has a journey to make.
In 1939 Tolkien was despairing of ever bringing his great work The Lord of the Rings to a conclusion. One morning he woke up with the story Leaf by Niggle complete in his mind and wrote it down. This poignant story, about an artist on a curious journey, is often seen as an allegory of the writer’s own creative process and life.
Published to coincide with a new touring stage production of the story, this is the first time the story has been published in its own volume, enabling readers to savour one of Tolkien’s most elegant, haunting and least-known short stories.

薄得天理難容……
评分太棒瞭，完美的造夢文學，閱讀過程如同做夢，讀完如夢初醒，托爾金真的很喜歡景色景物的描寫

评分讀到主人公niggle開始畫一棵樹和它的枝葉時，就知道托爾金是在說自己瞭。他的痛苦、他看到自然後的欣喜頓悟，都活脫脫是他的經曆寫照。後半段和Parish的對話很有18世紀英國田園遊記的意味。還有很多微言大義，可惜我對托學研究太淺，隻能理解一小部分瞭。
