			That was Smith of Wootton Major, and though his eyes began to water because of the spices, the tears flowed because of the pain of giving up the Faery star.

			Is it the 'Feast of Good Children' in Smith of Wootton Major?  I couldn't find an exact date, but it is in winter.

			Ah, now I found it - it's the Feast of St Hilarius and St Felix ("ominous names"!   ) in Farmer Giles of Ham.  Everyone, including the king and his court, was there, but the guest of honour didn't show up - the dragon!

			That sounds like Tom Bombadil, but I'm not sure which animals you mean, HI.  He was captured by the Badgers, but they are not exactly riverside creatures; the Otters are riverside dwellers, but he wasn't exactly captured by them...

			Hmmm, raccoons wash their food before eating it, and beavers build their homes as dams in the river... At any rate, since the answer was right, I'll pose the next question: What does Tolkien call "a rash adventure"?
