1420! A rubbish question
According to J.R.R. Tolkien, how did the littering of Britain's beauty spots begin, and who was responsible?

Well, it all started when the Great White Dragon lived on the top of Snowdon. He caught the only man who dared to climb up during that time drinking from a bottle.

That man finished in such a hurry that he left the bottle on the top, and his example has been followed by many people since. (Roverandom)

Pipe Right again
Indeed so. Such an iniquitous practice could only have begun with a dragon.

That's what one gets from "Dragons and Elves" - he should have planted cabbages and potatoes instead! Better for the environment, at any rate...

Well, here's a new question: What did Parish see and not see in Niggle's home and garden?

He did see weeds, but did not the picture (that is, he saw dots and lines, but not the picture as a whole)

Well thank you

In my turn, I'd like to learn Middle Kingdom's and Little Kingdom's respective headmen's appellations of dignity, honor, distinction and preeminence attached to their persons and families by virtue of rank, office, precedent, privilege, attainment and lands (and birthright, in the former case, of course)

thank you

I suppose that should have been Giles the King of Little Kingdom and mentioned Goldlover the Divine = Chrysophilax

These two persons were very much alike and all dressed in black clothes. Their occupations were alike, but one of them, who was taller, had tint of 'finality' to his. Name both.

That would be the Inspector and the Driver, in Leaf by Niggle. The latter was responsible for the transportation to Niggle's final destination, ending his mortal life.
