Smith of Wootton Major by J R R Tolkien

Smith of Wootton Major by J R R Tolkien

A charming new pocket edition of one of Tolkiens major pieces of short fiction, and his only finished work dating from after publication of The Lord of the Rings.

“The book has a haunting quality, characteristic of the best of the ‘deeper’ folktalesIt is a beautiful, memorable story.” Times Educational Supplement

“It may be compared to the most delicate miniature but it is one of a rare kind: the more closely it is examined the more it reveals the grandeur of its conception. Whoever reads it at eight will still be going back to it at eighty.” New Statesman

“A tremendously valuable volume with important new insights into Tolkien’s way of working. It’s also a beautiful hardcover edition of the story.” Mythprint

J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 50 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
