A lot of good questions, but gets a bit repetitive at times. Milton's poem was already a question in the M-quiz, only the other way around.

Do you have a good general knowledge suggestion that you would like to make? I would be happy to hear it!

I would suggest "Pilgrim's Progress", which was massively influential (and nicely alliterative!).

In most of the quizzes on this site, you are allowed to use the last name for an answer. Please consider allowing Pan, instead of insisting on Peter Pan. When you don't follow the typical rules, it causes people to waste time.

Once a quiz is featured, editing it resets everyone's points who have taken the quiz. So since I don't want to waste those people's time in having to retake the quiz to get their score back, I'm going to leave it how it is. :)

Does altering a type-in really reset points?

As the author of The Godfather told Larry King, "If I'd known so many people were going to read it, I'd have written it better."

I mixed up my Shakespeare plays and wondered why Petruchio wasn't accepted. Also, I thought the prose was a color but when pink didn't work I gave up. Great quiz.

I kept reading "the Netherlands" for Neverland. Couldn't remember any kid in wooden shoes who could fly. (Time to get my eyes checked ....)

Scarlet Pimpernell should go under the "S" quiz.
