I like Farmer Giles of Ham, but my fave Tolkien story (non-Arda at least) is Smith of Wootton Major. Coincidentally, my favorite Neil Gaiman book is Stardust, which is a similar story of a boy exploring a fae realm. If you like Tolkien, or folk fantasy, read Tolkien's short stories
Tolkien’s short stories
I remember a lot of them being in poem form, something I had to be in the right frame of mind to get in to. But I liked getting more backstory on Bombadil in particular.
Indeed, I kind of get a kick out of Tolkien fans arguing to this day what kind of being Bombadil was.
That is gorgeous.
