Disambiguation notice
This is the four volume box set (The Tolkien Treasury) of J.R.R. Tolkien's short stories (Roverandum, Farmer Giles of Ham, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Smith of Wootton Major) and is a very different work from 'A Tolkien Treasury' which is a collection of essays etc. by other authors celebrating Tolkien.
The CD Audio book set also called 'The Tolkien Treasury' includes the audio book of 'The Father Christmas Letters' in addition to the above.
