Christmas Quiz - Solutions... Well, it's nearly the end of January so I guess I'd better put people out of their misery. Sadly, no one won dinner with me but one person came within a hair's breadth. Anyway, here they are:

1. The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper; a great example of contemporary teen fiction
2. I Believe In Father Christmas; iconic Christmas song, lyrics by Greg Lake
3. Christmas 1914; poem by folk poet and singer, Mike Harding
4. It's a Wonderful Life; Frank Capra directed film Starring James Stewart, Donna Reed.
5. The Book of Household Management; Mrs Beeton's weighty masterpiece - Delia, eat your heart out
6. The last Will and testament of Hugh Oldham, Bishop of Exeter, founder of many educational establishments including Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
7. A Winter's Tale; gooey rather than iconic Christmas song by David Essex
8. Little Women; book by Louisa May Alcott
9. Cruel and Unusual; seriously scary Kay Scarpetta novel by Patricia Cornwell before she lost her way
10. Visions of Sugar Plums, A very funny 'between the numbers' book by Janet Evanovitch. if you haven't discovered the 'Numbers' books yet, you're really missing out.

Hope you all enjoyed the challenge and that just maybe you'll be inspired to read some of them.
