]] ''The Adventures of Tom Bombadil'' is a collection of Poetry written by J. R. R. Tolkien and published in 1962 . The book contains 16 poems, only two of which deal with Tom Bombadil , a character who is most famous for his encounter with Frodo Baggins in '' The Fellowship Of The Ring '' (the first volume in Tolkien's best-selling '' The Lord Of The Rings ''). The rest of the poems are an assortment of Bestiary verse and Fairy Tale rhyme. The book was originally illustrated by Pauline Baynes and later by Roger Garland . The book, like the first edition of ''The Fellowship of the Ring'', is presented as if it is an actual translation from the and the names of the Seven Rivers Of Gondor . The book is also notable because it uses the letter "K" instead of "C" for the /k/ sound in Sindarin , a spelling variant Tolkien alternated many times in his writings. There is some dispute about this book's 'canonical' status since the information presented about the secondary world is considered by some to exist only as folklore among the ). As a fictional work written by J.R.R. Tolkien that is about Middle-earth, it (by definition) has its place in the Middle-earth Cycle .
