Have to admit, I only knew Stephen King Bev but that's me, daft. I think the questions are excellent and hope the quiz goes well.

What about:- What were Bill Hayley's backing group called? (The Comets)

Real name of Judy Garland? (Francis Gumm) (You may want to check that is right).

Good luck anyway. xxx

Hi Bev

good qs .... don't know number 6

A few more ..... no idea if diff or easy, probably too easy for a writers group

Who was in the Prime of their life?

Who wrote about Sally Bowles?

Which play cannot be mentioned backstage?

Pi is short for what name?

What is Sherlocks address and his brothers name?

Clever

At the moment probably a reading group, perhaps we could start an online one? (Full time work .. neither time nor confidence to put pen to paper!)

Reading group.....Would it be a suitable use of the site. I think I might message Mark to ask. I'd be keen, I wonder if anyone else would be? Stitch?

Also Pi ... I meant as in Life of ....

Sherlocks brother .... Mycroft ...I think?

Beth

I'd be interested as long as there is no Mills & Boone involved.

Many thanks all of you. The quiz went down well and no one got all the answers right. Most got around 1/2 to 3/4 right which is good. Anyway the answers are as follows:

1.Steven King

2. Mallory Towers and St. Claires

3. Branwell

4. Moby Dick

5. (changed this to what kind of creature is Gimli as Legolas too easy) Answer dwarf

6. (Changed to Phillipa Carr) Jean Plaidy and Victoria Holt

7. Robert Browning

8. Rebecca

9. Daffodils

10 Shakespeare

Well done to those that got them right. :d
