Actually - let me recommend On Fairy Stories by a little known author. It's short, easy to read, and good. The other works in that book are worthwhile, too. Not directly Catholic, but insanely Catholic.
Tolkien wrote a longer essay on Tom Bombadil, but I dont remember what additional information he had to add. You can find it in The Tolkien Reader
