Other J.R.R. Tolkien books

Does "Smith of Wootton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham" have anything to do with Middle-Earth?

I'm almost positive the answer is 'no'. In fact, I am positive.

"Smith" is a fascinating book - it deals with inhabitants of Faerie, but not Middle Earth by name. "Farmer" is a very fun little story about a dragon. Both are Middle-Earth-ish, IMO

So, they're not the same book?

They are published in the same book, at least the copy I have, but they are two entirely different stories. Farmer is very fun and light; Smith is very interesting ... I recommend them both.

Cool!
So...what was the appropriate forum?

Oh, NVM.

Technically, it was in the appropriate forum until it was answered.
