We all know Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings, and many of us are familiar with the Silmarillion and perhaps the fact that he was a philologist by profession. But did you know he wrote several other pieces of fiction? This video explores one of them, "Smith of Wootton Major," which lies somewhere near the epicenter of Tolkien's work in the sense that it incorporates some of his personal views on "Faerie story". I definitely suggest you read it, and a good compilation containing it can be found here: www.amazon.com... For the essay "On Fairy Stories," see this compilation: www.amazon.com...
