Krátky popis
A charming new paperback edition of one of J.R.R. Tolkien’s major
pieces of short fiction, and his only finished work dating from
after the publication of The Lord of the Rings. What began as a
preface to The Golden Key by George MacDonald eventually grew into
this charming short story, so named by Tolkien to suggest an early
work by P.G.Wodehouse. Composed almost a decade after The Lord of
the Rings, and when his lifelong occupation with the ‘Silmarillion’
was winding down, Smith of Wootton Major was the product of ripened
experience and reflection. It was published in 1967 as a small
hardback, complete with charming black and white illustrations by
Pauline Baynes, and would be the last work of fiction to be
published in Tolkien’s own lifetime.Now, more than 50 years on,
this enchanting tale of a wanderer who finds his way into the
perilous realm of Faery is being published once again in paperback.
Contained here are many intriguing links to the world of
Middle-earth, as well as to Tolkien’s other tales, and this new
edition is enhanced with a facsimile of the illustrated first
edition, a manuscript of Tolkien’s early draft of the story, notes
and an alternate ending, and a lengthy essay on the nature of
Faery.
