#farmes giles of ham

Middle-earth March - Day 11 

“Farmer Giles of Ham” is a really wonderful though less known story of Tolkien’s. Farmer Giles’ full name is Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo, and at the beginning of the tale, he is a simple farmer living in the Middle Kingdom. But after the adventure, he will be a true hero, defender against a dangerous giant, tamer of the mighty dragon Chrysophylax and (spoilers!) even king of the newly formed Little Kingdom.
