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.

That was Atkins, the schoolmaster in 'Leaf by Niggle', who saved the bit of Niggle's painting which gives the story its title.

In which of Tolkien's non-Middle-earth works does he speak of barrow-wights?

Such a sinister item of imagery may have ocurred in
The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son (alongside of bogies...)

What was the main reason of said Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Sons death (no corporeal explanations, such as stroke of a sword etc, accepted, there is a word I expect you to utter)

Mariska has it - Little Princess Mee it is! (These threads are moving fast these days - and almost under European monopoly... )

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

I'm sorry, but that's not the feast I'm looking for...
It's from another "minor work"

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...

are not the Badgers the ones to wash things in the water before they eat them? If no, than I unintentionally mislead you. yes, Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow I had in mind

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"?
