I notice that Oxford Reader and Stuck in a Book are posting book quizzes on their blogs and I rather fancied doing one myself but could not think of an idea and then a post I just left over on another blog prompted me to pose these questions on pseudonyms used by authors for one reason or another. Some of them are very easy and some, I hope, will puzzle you a bit. I had to check out a few of these on Google to make sure I was getting them right but I am putting you on your honour not to do this for the answers, but I am sure you won't…….
Here we go:
- Ellalice Tate
- Clive Hamilton
- Caroline Harvey
- John MacKintosh Stewart
- Mary Westmacott
- Currer Bell
- Robert Markham
- Mary Anne Evans
- Avram Davidson
- Barbara Vine
- Ed McBain
- Edgar Box
- A M Barnard
- Sylvia Susan Scarlett (Whoops!)
- Charles Dodgson
- James Wright
- Elizabeth McIntosh
Must remember to take a note of all the answers in case I forget them myself!
Please put your answers in the comments box below – no prizes but just a bit of fun.
Bit bleak today, icy underfoot and have not ventured far and I am sitting here nice and cosy and gemutlich with curtains drawn and nice smells coming through from the kitchen. I have just made three steak and onion pies (something very soothing about making pastry from scratch), a casserole and some apple and brown sugar stewing as well. As I have also hoovered round this morning (yes I know….) and dusted I am feeling rather saintly and the mantle of the Domestic Goddess has fallen onto my shoulders, not for long I hasten to add in case you think I am undergoing a crisis of nerves. Listening to a lovely CD of Saint Saëns Piano Concertos am now off to make a cup of tea and read and then later on tonight, the final of Strictly Come Dancing….YAY!!
