What a star! All correct except for 3. so an unbeatable nine points to Shayne.
If others still want to have a go, I'll give a few bonus items:
6. Shane's answer is roughly correct, but there is a special term for a series of folios sewn together. What is it?
8. Name the other three Pevensie children in their order in the family.
8.a The date the first edition of
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was published.
10. It was indeed 1895 that the title
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) was used on the covers of the series of fascicles which were published over many years. Can you give the decade or even the date the full dictionary was first published in ten bound volumes?
Shayne, can we leave it overnight our time for others to have a go, and meantime you prepare the next quiz?
