Book Trivia Week #7

January 16, 2024

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday - last week we had a little fun with our trivia regarding a final Jeopardy Question no one got right pertaining to Frances Hodgson Burnett's famous novel, The Secret Garden.

This week we are going way back with our trivia question: What famous book was published on this date - I'll give you a hint - the year was 1605.

On January 16, 1605, Miguel de Cervantes published Don Quixote. Don Quixote is considered to be the first modern novel and one of the greatest novels of all time. We get the term "tilting the windmill" from the novel. It heavily influenced Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as well as other works of literature throughout history.

Have you read this great piece of literature?
