Today‘s word is one more from “Farmer Giles of Ham.”
pantechnicon: (noun) a large van for transporting furniture
That‘s a pretty specific word and an interesting visual comparison.

I finished Smith of Wootton Major and this little book this morning. I enjoyed all of the illustrations, although I thought the ones in Farmer Giles of Ham were better than this story. This one is a bit more bittersweet, but still a great story of Faery. Tolkien‘s short stories will never rank with his stories of Middle-Earth, but I do love seeing the variety.

I thoroughly enjoyed my reread of this story! Giles is a farmer who gets pushed into being a hero in this story. I was actually more entertained by the dog and the dragon than the human characters.

While reading “Farmer Giles of Ham” I had to look up this word. In this situation, the dragon is trying to bargain and promises to pay for a cenotaph or monument for the parson he ate.
cenotaph: (noun) a monument to someone buried elsewhere

Along with Tales from the Perilous Realm, I‘ve also got this book that includes the next two stories with illustrations by Pauline Baynes. I‘m looking forward to rereading these as I don‘t remember the details from the first time. I‘m starting Farmer Giles of Ham today!
