sirshiana 's review for:

Smith of Wootton Major/Farmer Giles of Ham by J.R.R. Tolkien

4.0

---

This two story collection includes Farmer Giles of Ham, which is included in The Tolkien Reader, but it also includes a new story--Smith of Wootton Major. Smith of Wootton Major, like many of Tolkien's stories is based around English tales of faerie and that other realm. Tolkien was a great lover of the faerie and maybe, even a great believer. I don't have much else to say, other than that the stories are charming and a recommended read.
