Hi all, to tie in with our USA authors feature, here is a quiz with an American flavour.
The first letter of each answer reading downwards will spell out the name of a well known American author. The grey highlighted letters read from left to right and down will also spell out one of his popular books/characters. Bonus points if anyone gets the author or book before all the answers have been filled in!
I've tried to include a few easy/general knowledge questions to help out the Brits who haven't read many US horse stories - hopefully our American friends will leave the easy ones for them and answer the harder ones
As usual it is one answer at a time.
CLUES:
1. POPULAR VILLAINS IN STORIES SET ON RANCHES!
2. IF YOU HAVE FALLEN OFF YOUR STEED YOU ARE THIS!
3. SON OF FLICKA
4. SURNAME OF MOTHER AND DAUGHTER AUTHORS, MARION AND BARBARA
5. COMPLETE THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK: THE LOOK OF ————
6. THE BLACK STALLION ————– NUMBER 6 IN THE SERIES
7.WHAT SORT OF STORIES DID GROSSET & DUNLAP PRODUCE A LIBRARY OF?
8. COMPLETE THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK: CHEROKEE BILL ———— ————
9. WHAT COLOUR LINKS THE WORDS TARTAR, BIG & EMBERS?
10. PALOMINO HORSE IN WILD PONY ISLAND BY STEPHEN MEADER
11. AUTHOR OF TIGER ROAN
12. SHE LIVED ON CHINCOTEAGUE ISLAND
13. COMPLETE THE TITLE ———– STALLION OF HAWAII
14. CAPITAL OF THE ‘WALKING HORSE’ STATE!
15. BRITS CALL IT A HACKING WHAT DO AMERICANS CALL IT?
16. WHICH ARABIAN FEATURES IN KING OF THE WIND?
17. THIS EQUINE HAS A LOT OF ‘HORSEPOWER’!
18. BOTH MARGUERITE HENRY AND DORIS GATES WROTE ABOUT THIS AMERICAN BREED
19. WHAT SORT OF CLUE DOES JEAN BOTHWELL WRITE ABOUT?
20. FIREBIRD, STRAWBERRY AND CEDAR ARE ALL WHAT COLOUR?
21. NUMBER 50 IN THE SADDLE CLUB SERIES
NB - For technical reasons I couldn't make the grid much smaller - if you want to see the whole grid on your screen at once you may need use the control and minus keys together to make it smaller.
