You do not have to be a fan of Middle Earth to enjoy these. Even though JRRT keeps them in the story by giving the history of their various authorship and antiquity, some are admittedly newer having been written by Bilbo or Frodo, these poems have a charm that makes them unusually vivid to young and old alike.

More stuff about that whacky Tom guy and his background, will not be of interest to the casual reader. You get some detail on his history in this story, and how he came to meet his woman, and why he came to live where he did, and why he has the abilities he does. It will all seem pretty stiff to a lot of people.

You do not have to be a fan of Middle Earth to enjoy these. Even though JRRT keeps them in the story by giving the history of their various authorship and antiquity, some are admittedly newer having been written by Bilbo or Frodo, these poems have a charm that makes them unusually vivid to young and old alike. There is a play in the nature of language in these that does seem to make them ancient. Maybe they are. In any case, for whatever the reason, it is amazing to see over the years how these poems "stick" in the mind. Perhaps the most interesting of them is "The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late" followed by "The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon". (I note that one web site has the first poem mislabeled as the second.) What these do is remarkable though I can't put my finger on what it is. Children will remember these if you read them to them. They are positive and inspiring and positively sparkle with light and love of words.
