Is it really that obvious? I can think of a few posts from the Books forum that would me away, but that's a little harder to pick up than my RL habits of daydreaming and wandering in the woods down the road from my house (which obviously isn't something known to most inhabitants of this forum. ) And I had no way of manipulating the results since I didn't read the story before taking the test!

The idea of going to Faerie resonates with me. I would love to have the chance to wander there, if only it truly did exist, and catch glimpses of a world filled with magic and beauty beyond what ordinary life has to offer. It's here in some way, I think, in the blue sky of a spring morning, the quiet of the woods, reflections of the autumn leaves in a lake. But not the same as visiting Faerie. That's the charm of Smith of Wootton Major, along with the bittersweet realization that the gift to visit can't be kept forever, and must ultimately be passed to the next person intended to have the rare privilege to go where few mortals can.

I still like Smith.
