Description
A charming new pocket edition of one of Tolkien's major pieces of short fiction, Smith of Wootton Major is a tale of wonder and enchantment. Written by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, this story began as a preface to another author's work but evolved into its own unique narrative.
Composed almost a decade after his famous novel The Lord of the Rings, Smith of Wootton Major showcases Tolkien's ripened experience and reflection on the world of fantasy. First published in 1967, this paperback edition features a facsimile of the illustrated first edition, as well as notes, an alternate ending, and an essay on the nature of Faery.
With its intriguing links to Middle-earth and Tolkien's other tales, Smith of Wootton Major is a worthwhile read for fans of fantasy and adventure. This new edition offers a unique glimpse into Tolkien's creative process and provides a captivating story that will transport readers to a world of magic and wonder.
