Michael Tolkien lost a small toy dog on the beach while on holiday. Roverandom was written mainly to cheer him up.

Quite right, Squatter! Though the boy in the story had no name, he was called 'little boy Two', since Michael was JRRT's second son.

In J. I. M. Stewart's A Memorial Service, a brief posthumous appearance is made by a character who appears to have been based on Tolkien. What is his name?

Could it be Timbermill?

The author of The Magic Quest himself. Professor Timbermill it is.

Tolkien criticised(sp) Lewis's work "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" because according to Jrr Lewis didn't develop a careful mythology as basis.
What subtitle did he give to this work of Lewis?
