Is it "canon" that The Hobbit was written by Bilbo Baggins, but written in such a way by him to be palatable to Hobbit children and so amended events to have sillier and more whimsical themes while Tolkien's more "R-Rated" events like Children of Húrin being the more truthful nature of Middle Earth?
Or was Tolkien just having fun and I'm reading too much into it?
