About “Works (Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, Beorhthelm's son / Smith of Wootton Major / Tree and Leaf)”
"Leaf by Niggle" is a short story written by J. R. R. Tolkien in 1938-39, first published in the Dublin Review in January 1945, and reprinted in Tolkien's book Tree and Leaf and later collections. Though Tolkien claimed to despise allegory, the story is an allegory of his own creative process and, to an extent, his own life, following the structure of Dante's Purgatorio, and it came to him in a dream.
