The Smith of Wooton Major, and Middle Earth

I'm not sure exactly where this belongs, because The Smith of Wooton Major isn't specifically set in Middle Earth.

My question is, ever since I first read The Smith of Wooton Major, I've wondered how the elves and the realm of faery in the story relate to Tolkien's work on Middle Earth.

I'm wondering if the whole story maybe takes place in ME, or if "Faery" is ME, or if none of it is. I guess this is a pointless question, but I'm truly curious to know other people's take on it.
