The Smith of Wooton Major
« Thread Started on Feb 2, 2004, 10:47am »

I just want it to go on record that the Smith of Wooton Major is one of the cutest stories I have ever read. It does make me wonder though, why did Tolkien leave the fae-folk out of most his other works? He obviously had a strong love of them. Or does anyone think that the Elves are his answer to fae in Middle-Earth? And if so why then do you think he made them so involved with the workings of the world, when most often the fae tend to remain as far from the world of men as possible? (I know the elves are not as involved as I'm sure it sounds in this post, but they are more-so than I would expect of fae-folk)
