He brought his grandson a flower from Faery, a tiny silver lily with three bells, suitable for playing despite its delicacy.

Yes, that is cute. Here's a new question:
Which weapon, though rather primitive, stopped a giant?

Why thank you, Lady Estelyn.
Taking aim ... Well, actually, I find that I have unfortunately mislaid my copy of Tales from the Perilous Realm , so this will be a fairly easy one: What was the name of Niggle's neighbour?

OK, I'll pose a question to keep the thread going:
Tolkien's poem Mythopoeia is dedicated "To one who said that myths were lies" - who is the person addressed here?

These are the names that Nokes guessed:
Miller's Molly Cooper's Harry Draper's Lily However, it was, of course, Smith's son who swallowed the star, as Prentice said.

Here's a new question: In which work is a postman mentioned and who is it?
(Yes, I was away on vacation for two weeks, and had very little time and opportunity for internet access.)

Roverandom is the work, and postman (by the name of Mew, if I am not mistaken) is sand-sorcerer

The work and the name are correct, HI, so you get to post the next question. However, Mew is not a sand-sorcerer, but a gull! He flies Rover to the Moon and is called the sand-sorcerer's postman there.

Sorry, but I don't know the Latin name, and I don't own a copy of Farmer Giles. I've only read it once. What is it in Latin?
Here's my question. What 2 colors were the wizards patch (on his robe) in Roverandom?
