The Wintersmith itself could almost be called a thing, instead of a person, but I’ll leave him in the persons category and use this chronological list of the important things in Wintersmith for other…things. The same goes for this alphabetical list.
First Flights in Witchcraft – One of several books authored by Letice Earwig.
Hiver – A bit difficult to describe. A bodiless mind that’s incapable of thought. The one that invaded Tiffany’s mind (and body) acquired the name Arthur.
Magavenatio Obtusis – Tr.: Witch Hunting for Dumb People. Followed to the letter by the people of Dogbend. Written by Miss Tick.
Shamble – Made of string and whatever is available in a witch’s pockets. Used to detect or amplify magic in the area.
Mrs. Sheergold’s Lubricated Throat Lozenges – One of the items in Miss Tick’s shamble before it exploded, which wasn’t supposed to happen.
Encyclopaedia of Soup, An – Owned by Miss Treason.
Ancient and Classical Mythology – By Chaffinch. Don Weizen de Yoyo illustrator. Of some use to Tiffany Aching.

Ominous Encyclopaedia – Roland owned all but one volume.
Sieges and Survival – A book Roland found useful when pitted against his aunts.
Unexpurgated Dictionary – Given to Tiffany by Miss Treason. Probably both found it quite useful.
Cripple Mr Onion – A gambling game of cards at which Granny Weatherwax excels.
Chase My Neighbor Up the Passage – Possibly a card game along the lines of poker or Cripple Mr. Onion.
Survival in the Snow – By T. H. Mouseholder. The Traveling Librarians relied upon it betimes.
Among the Snow Weasels – By K. Pierpoint Poundsworth. The Traveling Librarians hoped they wouldn’t have to rely on this tome.
Cooking in Dire Straights – By Superflua Raven. The Traveling Librarians used it, at least, for the Nourishing Boiled Socks Surprise recipe.
Habits of Wolves, The – By Captain W. E. Lightly. The Traveling Librarians had this one readily at hand.

These Are the Things That Make a Man – See the nearly complete poem, of sorts, here.
Bangle’s Universal Nostrum – Annagramma unwisely used this spell on a pig.

Uberwald Winter – Composed by Wotua Doinov. Sung by the Wintersmith.
Jolly Sailor Tobacco – Appreciated by Granny Aching. If you turn a packet upside down, you can see a nak….
Manual of Swordsmanship – Roland had read it all the way through. It hadn’t helped his skills much.
The ABC – Aka Abker to Ron Anybody.
Principles of Modern Accountancy – Upon its discovery, Rob Anybody read it all morning, but just to make it interesting, he put lots of dragons in it.
