Which Tolkien work contains the poem “The Adventures of Tom Bombadil” as its title poem?

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil is the Tolkien work that contains the poem of the same title as its title poem.

The book was published in 1962 as a collection of sixteen poems connected to Middle-earth and its surrounding traditions. The opening poem describes Tom Bombadil’s encounters with the River-woman’s daughter, Old Man Willow, and a badger. Other poems concern figures and events such as the Man in the Moon, the Oliphaunt, and the Mewlips.

Tolkien presents the collection as if the poems had been gathered from sources in the Red Book of Westmarch. That framing makes the volume feel like a piece of Hobbit and Shire literary culture rather than a straightforward continuation of The Lord of the Rings.

Tom Bombadil himself had already appeared in The Fellowship of the Ring. The title poem should not be confused with the separate prose chapters featuring him, or with Tolkien’s unfinished and posthumously published poetic works such as The Lay of Leithian.
