Augusta Jane Evans?? |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by dominique(f): 3:45pm On Oct 06, 2012 |
uj_sizzle: Augusta Jane Evans?? wrong! I don say all of una go google tire . Another mini clue is that her books are in the children/adolescent category. tho shes not so popular, her most acclaimed book (the one she was accused of plagiarising) Was made into a tv movie sometimes in the 90s. Funny thing is i had to dig out her book out of my library to remind myself of the author. Keep trying y'all |

Damn. I give up. *And I pay my respects* This is what I'm talking about. Nice riddle |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by dominique(f): 8:48am On Oct 07, 2012 |
If we're still going by the 24hr rule means i still have about six hrs before i reveal who the author is. Since the riddle was in the previous pags, let me refresh y'all with the clues and add more. brithsh children's author born in the 19th century. wrote a classic novel about 3 children and their mother who had to change their livestyle after father was incarcerated. died in 1940 (i got this from google) Next time, i'll stick just with best sellers . Happy Sunday guys |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 12:54pm On Oct 07, 2012 |
I'll wait for the 6hrs to be up. I give up too. |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 3:46pm On Oct 07, 2012 |
I believe it's up now. Dominique really gave us a whooping |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by dominique(f): 4:24pm On Oct 07, 2012 |
The author is Edith Nesbitt. Her most popular work was 'The railway children' about 3 children (Roberta, peter and phyllis) who had to adapt a poor livestyle after their father was arrested. The book became a classic but later came under fire after she was accused of plagiarising a lesser known writer. Sorry guys, i didnt know you'll find it so hard even after droping extra clues . |

dominique: Lol. Errato or something. Sounds like error. I dunno jor. uj_sizzle: yay!!! *belly dances and sumersaults at the same time* Only you? You must be the ultimate Yogist. Unfortunately, I don't read many female authors. Not that they're not great writers or anything, they just usually don't write about the things that interest me. |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 8:56pm On Oct 08, 2012 |

Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by kay9(m): 2:42pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
