Smith of Wootton Major

"Smith of Wootton Major" is a short story by J. R. R. Tolkien about a boy who gets a fay-star in a slice of cake during the Twenty-Four Feast, and explores Faery during the time before the next Feast.

The book was originally illustrated by Pauline Baynes. It is sometimes published in an omnibus edition with "Farmer Giles of Ham", another Tolkien novella with illustrations by Pauline Baynes.

It is not directly connected to the Middle-earth legendarium, although both Faery and Valinor are lands outside of the normal world and they may be one and the same.
