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

Smuggling was rife in Britain between the seventeenth & mid-nineteenth centuries, & since then smugglers have come often to be romanticised as cheeky rogues
- as highwaymen of the coasts & Robin Hood figures. The reality could be very different. Cut-throat businessmen determined to make a profit, many smugglers were prepared to use excessive force as often as they used cunning, & the officers whose job it was to apprehend them were regularly brutally intimidated into inaction. Trevor May explains who the smugglers were, what motivated them, where they operated, & how items ranging from barrels of brandy to boxes of tea would surreptitiously be moved inland under the noses of, & sometimes even in collusion with, the authorities.
