Dm Literary Quiz

[brainiac]

Been trying most of today to get the final two:

According to the book 'From Strength To Strength' about ageing, doctors reach their intellectual peak at what age: 30s, 40s or 50s?

What is the top poison measured by the number of criminal cases in the UK: arsenic, cyanide or strychnine?

I think I've exhausted all sources, so any help gratefully received!

Thank you granny grump, but am I correct with Picture 3 - Edith Nesbit - all others have 2 christian names

[Surveyor69]

Seen a reference to E S Nesbit, so, assume, this is correct (?)

Thanks for the picture - I knew it was E Nesbit, but was querying that all the other answers had 2 cristian names, so what was hers ? I did, eventually, find one reference on line to E S Nesbit, so I am assuming (?) that is correct

I, too, have seen her referred to as E S Nesbit, but can't find anywhere that tell her middle name.

[Surveyor69]

TheWinner - Agreed and I'm not spending any more time searching !!
