Hi all, this is a 2 part quiz. First you have to solve the clues to identify 26 places (countries, counties, cities, etc) and 26 pony books, then you have to match the pony books to the place they were set in. 1 point for each clue solved and each pair matched.
The usual one answer at a time rule applies, except that in this case each matched pair you can identify counts as one.
Some of the clues are quite obscure - you may have to use friend google
