Tolkien’s acclaimed modern classic ‘fairie’ tale, read by Derek Jacobi.
Leaf by Niggle recounts the strange adventures of the painter Niggle, who sets out to paint the perfect tree. But he senses that he will be snatched away from his work long before it is finished – if indeed it could ever be finished in this world. For it is in another and brighter place that Niggle finds his tree is finished, and learns that it is indeed a real tree, a true part of creation.
Written in the early 1940s at the same time as The Lord of the Rings was taking shape, ‘Leaf by Niggle’ is a passionate adult fairy tale about a man who has ‘a long journey to make’, thought to be an allegory of Tolkien’s own life.

Zet aan tot denkenNiggle is a unknown painter, his obsession with detail ensures that he face difficulties to finish his paintings. One of his canvases keeps getting bigger and bigger the end does not seem to be in sight.At an unexpected moment, his neighbor asks him for his help and later on he is forced to go on a unwanted trip.During this journey he comes to insights, a true realization arises in his vision, which makes him look differently at his own works of art.Tolkien wrote this tale in a total different writing style then his other works. Good to mention is that this story is not suitable for children as it mention sickness.
