I checked your theory of Wm Shakespeare borrowing from Dobro with a local Shakespeare scholar. He mentioned the speech by Antonio in The Tempest, Act III, sc. 3, "travelers ne'er did lie / Though fools at home condemn 'em" was probably borrowed from Darrow's men's reaction to seeing Feechie folk and their food for the first time.
I’m so excited to have a re-release of the entire trilogy! It first came out when I was a teenager, and even if I was “a bit old” for the books, I loved them! Now I have two boys of my own, 8 & 11, who I know will absolutely love the feechies, and I just bought the audiobooks so they can listen to them at bedtime. I can’t wait to share these stories with them!
I think I know the answers to the riddles. And they greatly encourage me--as does the hint that a particular romance seems to be progressing. I am sharing this book series with a young friend who could become a huge fan.

That checks out, Jerry.
I look forward to future discussions of the insights of the Feechie folk when we can get more open and specific without being spoilers.

The first riddle subject often hangs from trees, eats ticks, and has a toothy smile.
