Smith of Wootton Major
Smith receives a magical star at a village feast and gains the rare ability to travel through the perilous beauty of Faery. His journeys deepen his inner life while he continues the ordinary work of a craftsman and family man. Eventually, the gift must be surrendered so that wonder can pass to someone else. Elegant and wistful, this short tale pairs well with tea and a quiet evening for readers interested in vocation, humility, and the grace of letting go.
