From the vaults! More of C.S.

Happy New Year!Kora Burton rejoins Chris to discuss Tolkien's last fairy (or is it faerie?) story, "Smith of Wootton Major" (1967).

Though told simply enough for children to understand its plot, Tolkien called it “an old man’s book.” Thanks as always to Logan Huggins for
