Letter 121 is a letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien and published in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Summary

Tolkien had referred to further "legends of the Little Kingdom" in the Foreword to of Farmer Giles of Ham in case he ever wrote more. But Georgius and Suet remained only a sketch and it was difficult to recapture the spirit of the former days. But perhaps when The Lord of the Rings (nearly finished in fair copy form) was done he could do something.
