This charming fantasy novella by J.R.R. Tolkien, published in 1967, offers a glimpse into the imaginative mind that created the epic world of Middle-earth. While not set in the same universe as The Lord of the Rings, Smith of Wootton Major explores similar themes of humble beginnings, the power of myth and storytelling, and the magic that can be found in the ordinary. The story follows a young boy who acquires a magical token that allows him to travel to a mystical land filled with fairies and wonders. As he grows older, his adventures in this realm intertwine with his life in the English countryside, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. Collectors will appreciate this well-preserved edition, which bears the gentle patina of age while remaining in good readable condition. Despite some wear to the dust jacket and boards, the clean pages and secure binding make this an excellent copy for those seeking to immerse themselves in Tolkien’s timeless tales of enchantment and imagination.
