No and no!

OK, this author really should give it away;

Louisa May Alcott

They have all had novels that have turned into plays.

That may be true, but it's not what I'm after here.

Think of Miss Alcott's most famous book and work from there.

Bilbo1967 · 01-17-2011, 12:45 PM

Gosh, have I stumped the great and good of MR?

Hint: think book titles.

Bilbo1967 · 01-17-2011, 04:47 PM

Is there nobody out there, or are you all really stumped?

Big hint: look for a commonality in the titles of a book from each of these authors.

There's really no trick to this answer - I really didn't think it was that tricky. Maybe you're all over-thinking it?

Yes!

Each of the author's most famous novel (slightly debatable in the case of Lawrence) contains the word 'woman' or 'women';

Susan Hill - The Woman in Black
Wilkie Collins - The Woman in White
John Fowles - The French Lieutenant's Woman
D. H. Lawrence - Women in Love
Louisa May Alcott - Little Women

Take it away L&G.

Every dawn begins with me,
At dusk I'll be the first you see,
And daybreak couldn't come without
What midday centers all about.
Daises grow from me, I'm told
And when I come, I end all cold,
But in the sun I won't be found,
Yet still, each day I'll be around.

I think I know this one, its the letter D right?

SneakySnake · 01-17-2011, 09:39 PM

@ THE TERMINATOR I think you may have it!

Did you know that the word daisy comes from day's eye because they opened when it was daytime?

Javed · 01-18-2011, 03:53 AM

I think THE TERMINATOR may have answered this one right also.
