Where is it from?

[LJH]

"I found it, sir. It's hurted. Is it still alive?"

 

 

[Andy78]

I read it a number of years ago but I can't place it, though I think it's from children's literature

[Zombie]

It's an English novel set in the North of England? Maybe the book that was filmed as Kes?

[Andy78]

I don't think it's Kestral for a Knave. Although I read Kestral a number of years ago, I don't think it fits.

[LJH]

Hint: The author wrote The Posseidon Adventure

[Palantir]

Well, that's Paul Gallico. Is it the one about the cat?

[LJH]

Nope: not about a cat.

Another clue: a character in the novella is called Frith.

 

[Andy78]

The only book I can think of is Snow Goose. I've never read it, but it's the only Gallico book I know.

[LJH]

Perfect. Over to you Andy.

[Frostina]

"One more of us acquitted - too late!"

 

Ten little Soldier boys went out to dine...

 

'And then there were none'. Agatha Christie, right?

[Andy78]

Frosty lives

 

Yes you are right, your turn.

[Frostina]

Of course I live! It's the sci-fi that rattles me!

uh.. so:

 

"A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing."

[Zombie]

Methinks this will be another obscure dust-covered tome by a dead person

[LJH]

Clue time....

[Andy78]

Methinks this will by a dead person who did not parle the English

[Frostina]

uhhh.... well... I read it in English, and yeah... It's not originally in English. BUT it is a famous book. NOT dust covered at all!

 

in fact, it is the MOST famous book written by this particular writer!

okay... another clue: It was written in the late 19th Century. there!

[Andy78]

Another one in translation **Frosty is evil, evil, person**

 

Knowing Frosty it's probably something like Pushkin's Eugene Onegin

[Frostina]

Who?

 

also... i be's an angel! See the halo?

[Andy78]

A Russian author the great classics lover has never heard of You can knock me down with a feather.

[Frostina]

Pushkin... yes... BUT as for Eugene Onegin, my first thought was Tchaikovsky.

 

but no, i havent read that book, nor have i heard the opera.

[Andy78]

**hopes to dream the right answer**

[Frostina]

I gave two clues.. but, here's one more: it is originally written in French.

[Andy78]

Victor Hugo Les Mis?

[Frostina]

Yeah, how tough was that?

 

all that moaning! sheeeeeeeeeeeesh!
