Literature by Letter 'B' (Multiple Choice)

In the 'A' quiz of this series I blatantly used the determiner 'a' so I could add items that technically should have waited their turn in the alphabetical pecking order. For instance, 'A Streetcar Named Desire' could have taken a long holiday before its legitimate turn will come up. Robert A. Heinlein fans will been in orbit to see their god in there but will think "Hey, man... it's 'Time Enough for Love' NOT 'A Time Enough for Love'." Anyway, knowing that the people who do my quizzes are of the highest quality of intelligence and are only discerning when dealing with riffraff... I know they understand what I mean.

1. A military catastrophe that was the result of planning by a little boy playing field marshal. He should have been given a big box of tin soldiers and led to a shady spot in the garden... and told not to come back into the house until World War Two was over.
A Bridge Too Far ✓
The Bridges at Toko-Ri ✓
The Bridge over the River Kwai ✓
The Bridges of Madison County ✓
This is a literature quiz, little miss/buddy. NOT a movie quiz. The book was titled 'The Bridge over the River Kwai'. Be happy in your work.
2. The life of a horse as related straight from the horse's mouth.
The Black Stallion ✓
Black Beauty ✓
Beersheba ✓
Bathsheba ✓
'Beersheba' by Paul Daley is an account of the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade at that biblical, little oasis in October 1917. It was the last successful cavalry charge in history (Light Brigade. Eat your hearts out). Sadly, the victory probably strengthened Field Marshal Douglas Haig's insane idea that cavalry still had an important role in modern warfare... and the bodies piled up in the trenches while his horsey men waited safely in the rear, ready to exploit any breakthrough by the massed infantry frontal assaults.
3. One of the most important and most often translated works in Old English literature. Author unknown. Composition date unknown. Set in pagan Scandinavia. The manuscript was conveniently half-destroyed by fire. Okay. I believe them.
Bambi, a Life in the Woods ✓
The Brothers Karamazov ✓
Beowulf ✓
The Brummstein ✓
My English literature professor tried to persuade me to do my major assignment on 'Beowulf'. I told him to Geat stuffed.

'Breaker Morant' is a 1978 play by Kenneth Ross.
