Book Trivia Week 6
It's my day of the week - Book Trivia Tuesday!! Last week you all had fun guessing what year Rudyard Kipling won the Noble Prize for Literature (the answer was 1907 in case you missed the post).
Today's book trivia question comes from an episode of Jeopardy on Friday Evening, January 5th. The exact question was: A 2020 edition of this beloved 1911 novel came with a glossary of horticultural terms & a location guide.
Of course, I guessed the answer right away. What surprised me most was none of the contestants got the question right.
The answer was The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I thought for sure such a popular piece of children's literature was quite obvious. Maybe I am wrong. Would you have known the answer?
And while we are talking about Frances Hodgson Burnett, do you know any of her other books she wrote (Other than The Little Princess?) To be honest with you, until I started selling children's books, I had no idea she had written other books other than the two titles mentioned above. I read Little Lord Fauntleroy this month & it was such a sweet story. If you are looking for a sweet, feel-good book to start your year, this book is for you.
Burnett was born & raised in England until she was 16 when she moved to America with her family. Her English upbringing is evident in the books she wrote. To purchase her books, click here.
