Hi, Please could you tell me where you found this quiz as it is just the type of thing I love to do. I promise I won't send it in. I'm trying hard to find the answers to numbers 26 and 32 for you.

Thanks

Hi Moggypaws, the quiz is the Book Title Quiz from the Calne Methodist Church in Wiltshire. I don't know where you could get one from, I just came across it as I know someone else who was doing it! I could email you it, but don't think I am allowed to contact other members? Or I may be able to put it on line - would I be able to post a web address?

Thank you to everyone who has answered. I actually put the wrong clue for #96, it should be :- "Odd stick of this part of the castle".

Thanks again.

Hi SuzeDB

Thanks for your reply. I don't really know but I don't suppose we are allowed to communicate. Don't worry - I expect I should be getting ready for Xmas rather than wasting my time with quizzes! I hope you win. Thanks again.
