Tolkien's most famous work is The Lord of the Rings, followed closely by its precursor, The Hobbit. He also wrote a number of less well-known books: Smith of Wootton Major, Farmer Giles of Ham, Leaf by Niggle and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.

He also compiled an extensive history of Middle-Earth, which was neither published nor completed during his lifetime. Rather, this work was collected by his son Christopher into The Silmarillion and the Histories of Middle Earth (which consist of twelve volumes). Recently, The Children of Hurinhas been published. It expands on art of The Silmarillion, but is less formal in style.

Tolkien also wrote academic pieces and poetry.
