Any fiction besides lord of the rings?

[chongjasmine]

I wonder if Tolkien writes any fiction besides lord of the rings? If so, what are they, and do you recommend me to read them, if I like lord of the rings.
Thanks. I am only interested in fiction, and not non-fiction. I know Tolkien probably writes a lot of non-fiction, but I am only keen to read fiction.

I loved "Leaf by Niggle" though it is very different from "The Lord of the Rings". "Leaf" is a short story and very beautifully written.

I rather like the Smith of Wootton Major. Just note that the writing style is different from LoTR, the Hobbit and the Silmarillion.

You can find J.R.R. Tolkien's"fairytales" in an omnibus format as Tales from the Perilous Realm:
Tales From The Perilous Realm: Tolkien, J.R.R.: 9780358652960: Amazon.com: Books

The omnibus includes the following:

Roverandom is the story of a toy dog who becomes enchanted by a sand sorcerer. He gets to explore the world and encounter strange and fabulous creatures.

Farmer Giles of Ham is the tale of a fat, unheroic farmer who, having unwittingly managed to scare off a short-sighted giant, is called upon to do battle when the dragon Chrysophylax comes to town.

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil tells, in verse, of Tom's many adventures with hobbits, princesses, dwarves and trolls.

Smith of Wootton Major takes us on a journey to the Land of Faery, thanks to the magical ingredients of the Great Cake of the Feast of Good Children.

Leaf by Niggle recounts the strange adventures of the painter Niggle, who sets out to paint the perfect tree.

Jasmine, I suppose you know of The Hobbit, but that is the book you must read as soon as you can, if you have not yet enjoyed it. It's a great adventure. It tells us how Bilbo found Gollum's Ring, the same Ring that Frodo took to Mordor.
