Wait... "Xena Warrior Princess" - who wrote that one? Bronte? Dickens? Zola? Perhaps it was Agatha Christie. Please enlighten us as soon as you possibly can :-)

I had no idea that "The Golden Compass" was originally called "Northern Lights" and was surprised there was another well-known book with the same idea!

I love that book, but would suggest choosing something that has the same name throughout the English-speaking world instead.

'Northern Lights' was the title under which the book was written and originally published in the UK. To me, the book's original title made sense for a literature quiz - rather than using a title that was created a year later to appeal to an American audience. It is still printed as 'Northern Lights' in the UK, despite the film being called 'The Golden Compass' also!

in the clue for W i would recommend you just say “J” rather than “Jane Eyre” so as not to give away the answer for J - i think that’s jetpunk practice. i really like the quiz idea though

Kicked myself for not getting the Jean Rhys! Kept thinking The Mad Woman in the Attic - yes I know that doesn't start with W... Good quiz, Rosee, thank you. Nominated.
